is a. Plagiogonus ; A. barbarus, Fairm., = limbatus, Germ.; Ammceciust 
obscurus, an Atfenius : id. I. c. p. 147. A. barbarus^¥2^vm..,\^ 
not only distinct from UmbatuH, but belongs to a widely different group 
of the genus : Reiche, Bull. Soc. Ent. Fr. (5) iii. p. clx. 
ApJiodhis. The following sub-genera are apparently intended as new 
by Mulsant, Hist. Nat. Col. de France, LameUicornes, 2nd edn., 1871 [of. 
Zool. Rec. viii. p. 263] : — Agrilinus (type, ater), Planolinus (piceus), 
Oromus (alpinus)^ Orodalus (pusillus), Emadus {4:-maculatus), Nialus 
{varians)^ Mecy nodes {parallelus), Eudolus (^-guttatus), Biralus (satel- 
litius), Agolius (mixtus), Amidorus (obscurus), Sigorus (porcus), Pubinus 
(lutarius), Limarus (zenJceri), Anomius (imicolor), Subrinus (sturmi), 
Erytus (briinneus), Labarrus (Hvkhis), Bodilus {^ordidus)^ Esymus {mer- 
darius), VoUnus (inquinatus), Nobius (consjmtus), Nimbus {contaminatus), 
Loraspis (sulcatus'). The latter is slji Ammcecius, teste Yon Harold (C.H. 
xi. p. 117), who hints that in a 3rd edn. of the author's work every French 
Aphodius will have its separate genus, and (p. 119) criticizes the adoption 
of the author's names rubens for alpinus^ Scop., and vernus for constam^.

Geotrupes stercorarius 2i\\\QS. Von Harold, C. H. xi. pp. 87-101, 
recognizes three species, for two of which he employs Marshamian names : 
1, stercorarius, L. ; 2, mesolius, Thoms., = stercorarius, Er., nec L., = 
subhevigatus, Staph., = puncticollis, Malin., = sjnniger, Msh. ; 3, putri- 
darius, Muls., nec Er., = intermedius, Ferr., = punctatistriatus^ Steph., 
= foveatus, Msh. These are differentiated, with copious bibliographical 
references.
