Odontacanthides. 
Sphallax peryphoides, Bates, is the Actenonyxhcmhidioidesoi White, whose 
generic characters are meaningless and misleading. The insect possesses some 
attributes of the Helluonides and Bemhidiides j but, unless considered an ano- 
malous form of the present subfamily, must form the type of a distinct equi- 
valent group, for which Bates suggests the name Actenonychue : Bates, Ent. 
M. M. viii. p. 30, note. 
Anchonoderides. 
Bates (/. c. viii. p. 29 et seq.) points out fresh characters for 
this subfamily in the squamosity &c. of the soles of the anterior 
tarsi in the d, and considers that the Australian Eudalia, 
Casteln., corroborates Schaum's opinion that it is closely allied 
to the Od(pnt)acanthide8. Another genus, described by himself, 
connects it with the AnchomenideSy other links occurring with 
that group and the Coptoderides ; and the author concludes that 
many subfamilies of the Truncatipennes are ramifications from the 
Anchomenides, He gives fresh characters for this subfamily 
and a synopsis of its genera, repudiating, however, its title, as 
Lachnophorus is the most typical genus, and Anchonoderus 
appears to be of doubtful stability [cf. p. 38). Camptotoma, 
Eeiche, seems not to belong to the group : Stigma\t6\phorus, Moi^. 
^Lachnophorus \ and EucrcruSyLec. (cj^. p. 77), 2indi Eudalia, 
Cast, (recharacterized, p. 32), are here first included in it. The 
facies, habits, and distribution of the different genera are dis- 
cussed ; and the following observations occur : — 
Lachnophorus mger. Gory, ?=^lcevicollis, Reich e, for which fresh localities 
are given, and Bembidium tenuicolle, Dej., is a Lachnophorus (p. 67). 
Chalyhe, Castelnau [preoccupied, in Lepidoptei'a, by Duponchel, 1836 : Ent. 
M, M. viii. 31, note by Eds.], i3 maintained as a good genus (p. "^9). 
Bga ; Castelnau has mistaken an enlargement of the apex of 3rd joint of 
palpi in this genus for a 4th joint ; and the emargination of the mentum is not 
toothed, as Lacordaire avers (p. 102).
