Castelnau (Trans. Roy. Soc. Viet. viii. p, 159) remarks upon the distribu- 
tion of the numerous Australian species of Cnemacanthidcdy which in that 
region, as elsewhere, are almost confined to the more southern parts. 
Ooptems (Gin5r.) belongs, according to the author, to tho Bembidiides, The 
author refers to Mecodonia (Blanch.), Broscus cenem (White), and probably 
also Bi'omocodci’Uii lotlinii (Brullo). No Bromecodorm has yet ))oon found, 
according to him, in New Zealand. Of tho Australian species of this genus 
Castelnau gives a tabular synopsis (1. c. p. 172). 
Burmeisteh states (Stett. ent. Zeit. 1868, p. 226) that the genera Baripiis 
(Dej.) and Cardiophthahnus (Curt.) must be united, they having pre- 
cisely the same characters, even to the emargination of the eyes by a pro- 
jecting lobe of the head, which is regarded by Lacordaire as specially charac- 
teristic of Cardiophthahiuis. The anterior tarsi in the latter are formed pre- 
cisely as in Baripiis ; joints 1-4 decrease perceptibly in size and are nearly of 
the same size in both sexes. The species of Baripus (or, as Burmeister Avrites, 
Barypus') have the elytra not distinctly and deeply striated, The known 
species cited by Burmeister are — speciosus (Kl.); I'ivalis (Germ.), atei'rimus 
(Ohaud.), and bonvoidoh'ii (Chaud.) ; the species of Cai'diophthalmus have 
more deeply striated elytra, and are — lonyitarsis (Wat.), clivinoides (Curt.), 
and a noAV species. 
Burmeister (1. c. p. 228) revives the name of OdontosceUs (Curt.) for tho 
genii.s Oncmaccmthiis (Brull6), but Avithout giving his reason for so doing. 
Jle divides the genus into tAVO sections, according as the elytra aro or are not 
striated, and enumerates the species knoAvn to him. 
Onemacanthus desmai'estii (Gu^r.). Redtenbacher (Reise der Novara, 
Zool. ii. Col. p. 12) notices a variety of this species. 
- Broscides. Putzeys publishes (Stett. ent. Zeit. 1868, ])p. 305- 
379) a monographic revision of this group, in Avhich lie admits 
the following genera (Table, L c. pp. 306, 307) : — 
I. Anterior tibias dilated and produced at extremity, 
A. Point of prosternum furnished Avith hairs. 
* Anterior tibice toothed at the middle of their outer margin. 
17. Gnathoxys (Westw.). 
t Anterior tibiie not toothed 16. Cnemalobus (GiuSr.). 
B. Point of prosternum smooth. 
* Penultimate joint of labial palpi as long as the last joint. 
2. Craspebonotus (Schaum). 
t Penultimate joint of labial palpi shorter than the last joint. 
a. Antenna) smooth 4. Metaglymma (Bates). 
b. Antennie pubescent.
