COLEOPTERA. 
Gossonides. 
T. V. WoLLASTON, 'On the Cossonidae of Japan' (Tr. E. Soc. 1873, 
pp. 5-43), describes 18 species (embodied in 15 genera, and all new) taken 
by G. Lewis, in Kiushiu and the southern division of Nipon. The ordi- 
nary European types do not prevail, and there is no dominant type. The 
following new genera and species are described : — 
_Tetratemnus, p. 9. Closely allied to Dryophtlwrus^ but with shorter 
rostrum and legs, the anterior coxae comparatively wide apart, the pos- 
terior coxae more approximated, &c. Also allied to ChccrorJwius, Fairm., 
but with transverse depressed eyes, and distinctly pentamerous tarsi. T. 
sculpturatus, p. 11 (also found dead in tea, Jersey). 
Pentacoptus, p. 12. Facies of Gronops : allied to Pentarthrum. P. 
(/ronopiformis, p. 13. 
TycModes, pp. 16, 449, & 518. Somewhat of the facies of one of the 
ErirMnidce, with an elongate linear slender rostrum, short transverse 
thorax, flattish wide oblong-elliptic body, small head, &c. : allied to 
Microxylohius. T. adamsi, p 17, I. Awasima, near Mpon. 
Pholidoforus, pp. 18, 465, & 546. With densely scaled surface. P. 
squamosus, p. 19. 
Coprodema, pp. 20, 465, & 546. Facies of Calandra, but a true Cosso- 
nid, allied to the preceding genus. C. ccdandriforme, p. 21. 
Exodema, pp. 22, 466, & 547. Closely allied to Coprodema, but with 
longer tarsi, of which the 3rd joint is widened and bilobed. E. sublu- 
tosum, p. 23. 
Phlceophagosoma, pp. 23, 465, 545, & 609-614. Allied to Phlaiophagus 
and Ehi/ncolus, but narrower, more fusiform, and less convex, with more 
elongate prothorax and rostrum and shorter tarsi, the 1st joint of which 
is sub-equal with 2nd and 3rd. Type, P. minutum, p. 25 ; also P. (?) 
curvh'ostre, p. 26 (see also other spp. and sub-g. n. Amorphorhynchus 
infra). 
Pseudocossonus, pp. 27, 478, 562, & 621. Facies of Cossonus, but with 
extremely robust legs, and abnormally short and incrassated tarsi, the 
apical joint of which is conical. P. brevitarsis, p. 28, brachypus, p. 29 
(see also infra). 
Heterarthrus, p. 29. Of narrow elongate-fusiform outline, with rather 
short and thick rostrum, somewhat slender and elongate legs and elongate 
tarsi, the apical joint whereof is ordinary and clavate in the $ , and 
fusiform-conical in the $ . H. leivisi, p. 31, pallidipennis, p. 32 (and see 
infra). 
Macrorhyncolus, pp. 33, 489, 576, & 635. Allied to Rhyncolus, but larger, 
more parallel, with the rostrum short and incrassate, but conspicuously 
parallel throughout, and the scrobes short, deep, wide, and suddenly 
narrowed, and angularly deflcxcd beneath the eyes. 31. rrassiiisculus 
p. 34 (and see infra). 
Xenomimetes, p. 35. Facies of llyhir{/us : allied to Syntomocenis (Ere- 
motes) and Stenoscdis, but with a conspicuously longer, less incrassate, 
and linear rostrum, less thickened antenna;, and the elytra sub-divaricate 
at the apex. X. destructor, p. 36. 
Sp/urrocorynes, pp. 38, 495, & 582, somewhat the facies of Uylastcs : with
