Aharys. Chaudoir, Bull. Mosc. xlvii. p. 96, et seq., restricts this genus 
to species having the hooks of the tarsi distinctly finely serrate, an ex- 
ceptional character in the ' Feroniens sensu strlcto,' with which he asso- 
ciates it.

J. L. Leconte, P. Ac. Philad. 1873, pp. 302-320, revises the PterosticU 
of the United States, chiefly with regard to his former Synopsis, of 
which he modifies the generic table by sinking Pcecilus as a minor group, 
and elevating Piesmus to generic rank on account of the absolutely sim- 
ple tooth of its mentum. A table is given of the 85 species of Ptero- 
stichus noticed, in which some synonymy is indicated. P. castaneus and 
brunneuSj Dej., are practically identical ; P. protensus, Lee, = relictus, 
Newm. ; P. muticus and simplex, Lee, and Brachystylus aniplicoUis, 
Mots. ; = P. californicus, Dej. ; P. subarcuatus and rejectus, Lee, = 
adoxus, Say ; P. adjunctus, Lee, and Jiebilis, Lee (= marens, Newm.), = 
coracinus, Newm. ; Argutorbrevicornis,J^.,f(istidiosusiiiidochotici(s^M.a.iiu., 
= mandibular is, K. A list of unidentified species is given (p. 317), and a 
table of the species of Evarthrus (pp. 318 & 319). For observations on 
this revision, with a discussion of the sub-divisions of Feronia, see De 
Borre, CR. Eut. Belg. xvi. pp. cxxx.-cxxxii. 
Feronia brunii, Crist., is a good species, and not a var. of F. metallica\
