Stenolophus {ridicolorj Redtenbacher, 1. c. p. 10, Hongkong. 
Stenolophus. Fairmaire describes the following iieAV species of this 
genus : — S. iridescens, irmomfus, irinoviridis, dorsiyci'^himercdis, and trivittis, 
I c. p. 773, from Madagascar j and S, af/i/zimbcmus, l.c. p. 771, Zanzibar. 
Feroniides : — 
CiiAUDOiR publishes (I/Abeille, v. pp. 219-260) an elaborate 
memoir upon the Feronice of Europe and the basin of the Medi- 
terranean, ineluding the deseription of many new speeies. In 
the great genus Feronia he proposes to apply Motsehulsky^s 
name Pedius to a group charaeterized by having a well-marked 
furrow along the anterior margin and sides of eaeh abdominal 
segment, long antenna3, and the loAver surfaee strongly punetured. 
It ineludes : — 
Poocilus hceticus (Ranib.), crenipenms (Diiv.), decijnons (Waltl), coarctatus 
(Ohaud.), cupripennis (Fairm.), inquinatus (Sturm) 
simm (Chaud.), incequalis (Marsh.) = (Dej.), F. sicula (Levr.) and 
inepta (Coq.). 
Under the subgenus Foncilus, Chaudoir maintains that versicolor (Steph.) 
is distinct from cuprea, but is inclined to think that the former is the insect 
meant by Linnooiis under the latter name (/. c. p. 220). 
Of Ptcrostichus Chaudoir gives a revision of the species (/. c, pp. 223-232), 
which ho divides into several groups as follows : — 
1. Feronia maura and allies : sp. F. escheri (Ileer), F. validiuscula 
(Chaud.) (Ileer) = User iatus (Schaum)=yt4;rtnf (Schaum), F plant- 
usetda (Chaud.) = (Heer), and three new species. 
2. Feronia ywani and allies : sp. P\ yivani (Dej.) j also F.jKrinci, bicolor, 
xatarti ( = dubia, Heer), spinolce (^Jlavofemorata^ Ron.), midtipunetata^ ex- 
terne-punctataj pinguis,Jlavo-femorata (Dej.), and cribrata. 
3. Feronia parumpunctata »xi(l allies: s,^. F. platyptera (Fairm. etLaboulb.), 
impressicollis (Fairm.), italica (Chaud.), and cantabrica (Schauf.) altered to 
cantabra by Chaudoir, lasserrei (Fairm.), micans (Heer), and two new 
species. 
Under Taqnnopterus, Chaudoir refers to F. duponchelii (J)e].), Jiliyrana 
(Mill.), extensa (Dej.), and two new species, and under Pereas to FI cylindrica 
(Sturm). Under Ilaptoderus he includes F. cognata (Dej.) = placidus 
(Rosenh.), amoena (Dej.), glacialis (Bris.), stomoidcs (Motsch.), and several 
new species. Molops, although placed as if a section of Feronia, is treated 
by Chaudoir as if a distinct genus ; the numbers of the species are continuous, 
but the initial of Molops is used Avith them. The species referred to by 
.Chaudoir are : — M, siriolatus, robustas, dalmatimis, cottellii (hvLli.) — alpestris 
(Dej.), elatus, rvjipes, tcrricola, ovipemiis (Cha,ud.) = cottellii (Schaiim), longi- 
2 )ennis, bucephalus, spartanus, edurus, corptdentus, senilis, margincpwictatus, and 
(Stenochoromiis) montenegrinus (Mill.). 
Feronia. Chaudoir remarks as follows upon some North-American species 
of this genus (Rev. et ISIag. Zool. 1808) : — F. unicolor (Lee.) is not uniculor 
(Dej.), Avhicli probably (Lee.),/, c. p. 334 j F. rostrata (NcAvm.) 
and grandiceps (Lee.), as also F'. spinicolHs (Dej.), belong in the neighbour- 
hood of Ilypherpes (1. c. pp. 33G-337) j Omaseas rifjiscajrus (Mann.) is a Cryo-
