Dacnochilus Icetus (Lee.). Solsky (Horae Soc. Ent. Ross. v. p. 143) describes 
the structure of the mouth in this species, which he says greatly resembles 
that of Pccdei'us. He figures the buccal organs, l.c. pi. 4. figs. 2a~c. Lito^ 
charis anyularis and macidaris (Erichs.) probably belong to this genus. 
Pfcderus Io7igicornis (Aub^), rujicollis (Fab.), and gemellus (Kraatz) are 
probably varieties of one species. See L. hlillor, Ycrh. zool.-bot. Ges. in 
AVien, xviii. p. 15. 
Achenium ephippium (Er.). Scriba (Berl. ent. Zeitsclir. 1868, p. 160) no- 
tices a variety of this species from Sarepta, having a black spot in the outer 
hinder angle of each elytron.
