Pseudotarphius, g. n., T. V. WoUaston, /. c. p. 1. Dilfers from Tar-

joints of the tarsi being much wider and more produced beneath. T. indent-

Rhysodidj^. 
G. R. Crotch, P. Am. Phil. Soc. xiii. p. 77, considers this family 
allied to the Scaritidce, laying stress upon the moniliform antennae, and 
the small, sub-triangular, prominent, and separate posterior coxae. [Cf. 
Lacordaire, Gen. Col. ii. p. 386. Crotch adopts the alteration ' Rhyss- 
odes ' unnecessarily made by Agassiz ; Mhysodes, as originally proposed 
by Dalman, being clearly pva-dSrjs^ not requiring the doubled a- after the 
long u: cf. Liddell & Scott, edn. 2]. 
A. Chevrolat, Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. (5) iii. pp. 207-218, discusses 
the group generally [using ' Bhysodes,' ' Phyzodes,^ and ' Ehizodides ' 
indiscriminately]. P. piceus, Germ., probably = ceratus, Newm. ; R. 
trisulcatus, Germ., is referred to Clinidium, and adopted for (the prior) 
canaliculatus, Costa, a name preoccupied in 1836 by Castelnau, but not 
mentioned in Gemm. & v. Harold's Cat. Ips monilis, 01., referred to 
Physodes by Germar, is apparently a Lcemophlceus. R. sculptilis, Newm. 
[as Lacordaire suggested], and conjungens, Germ.^ are referred to Clini- 
dium ; P. planus, Chevr.,= C. gidldlngi, Kirby. Stemm \cit\ oderus, Spin., 
is persistently misquoted as Stemnatoderus. In a supplement, 1. c. pp. 387 
& 388, P. canaliculatus^ Cast., is redescribed, and P. tuhericejJS, Fairm., 
identified with it ; and the Brazilian P. liratus, Newm., is recorded from 
Honolulu. 
Fairmaire, op. cit. p. 389, adds his own P. parumcostatas to Chevrolat's
