A. Chevrolat, Mem. Liege (2) v. pp. i.-viii., 1-118 [see Antarctiides, 
supra, as to date of publication], in a memoir upon the Cleonides, not in- 
tended as a monograph, divides the species into ' Faux Cleonides' (Ejn- 
rhynchus, Leucochromus, and Hypsosternus')^ with simple detached claws, 
and Bothynoderides, Conorhynchides, Cossinoderides, and true Cleonides^ in 
which the claws are approximate at the base or connate. Cleonus dehaani, 
Sch., is a Peribleptus ; C. ornatus^ Reiche, = Lixus pidvisculosus, Boh. ; 
C. soricinus, Mars., is also dt. Lixus. Boihynoderes conicicollis, Gyll., nec 01., 
is re-named meridionalis, p. 13 [Olivier's insect is a TemnorhinuSj teste 
Chevrolat; Gyllenhal's species, therefore, apparently does not require 
re-naming] ; Fahraeus's var. of B. vexatus, Sch., from W. Siberia, is 
named lugens, p. 14. Stephanocleonus niarginatus, Fisch., pruinosus and 
hexastictus, Sch., given as distinct in the catalogue, are considered con- 
specific in the text, p. 26 ; S. ruhrifrom and fossulatus, Fisch., are specifi- 
cally distinct, as are Cyphocleonus adumbratus, Sch., and trisulcatus, Hbst. 
All Motschoulsky's genera are adopted, and 17 more characterized as 
new ; but the author unconsciously anticipates the instability of these 
groups by renaming various well-known species, because of others of 
prior date, though the latter are referred by him to different genera. He 
gives a Catalogue, with localities, bibliographical references, and much 
synonymy, pp. 99-113; a table of doubtful species, and a table of geo- 
graphical distribution. 
The following new genera and species are characterized : — 
Exochus, p. 2. Bothynoderides : eyes straight in front, rounded behind ; 
joints 1 & 2 of posterior tarsi triangular, rather wide. Type, Leuco- 
chromus gigas, Mars., also Cleonus elUpticus and basigranatus^ Fairm., C. 
anxius, Sch., and E. latus, p. 3, Siberia, simplicirostris and persicus, p. 4, 
Persia, spp. nn. 
Flagiographus, p. 21. Bothynoderides : no differential characters given. 
Type, Cleonus fastigiatus, Er. (according to Catalogue), nebulosus, L., 
and many other known species; also P. albirostris, Egypt, jwdolicus,
