Tenebrionid^. 
Horn (Tr. Am. Phil. Soc. xiv. n. s. pt. ii. 1870, pp. 253-404, 
pis. xiv. & XV.) publishes a E-eyision of the Tenebrionidaj of 
America, north of Mexico,*’^ which he thus defines : — Proster- 
num attaining the hind margin of the thorax; epimera never con- 
tiguous on the median line. Anterior coxal cavities closed behind. 
Tarsi heteromerous, penultimate joint never spongy beneath. 
Tarsal claws simple. First three joints of the abdomen connate. 
Elytra with distinct epipleurye.'^ Cossyphus is to constitute a 
separate family, at the head of Leconte^s Rhynchophora, and 
Boros j Pytho, and allies are rejected from the group. The au- 
thor considers genera have been needlessly multiplied by recent 
European entomologists, and especially condemns the whole of 
Walker^s Oregon species, as already described. The Tenebrionidce 
are divided into 3 subfamilies, Tentyriidcs, Asididce, and Tenebru 
onidcB proper ; — the Tentyriidas being composed of the following 
tribes — Epiphismi, Gnathosiinif Epitrayiniy Cnemodiniy Thino- 
batiniy Batuliiniy Zopheriniy Usechiniy Stenosiiniy and Dacoderini ; 
the AsiDiDiE of the Anepsiiniy Nyctoporiniy Ci'yptoglossiniy Asidiniy 
Branchiniy and Coniontini ; the Tenebrionida;: corresponding 
with Coh. ii. of Sect. 2 of Lacordaire, with the addition of 
Tribe xvi. pt.y xvii., xx., xxiv. joL, xxv.-xxvii. of Coh. i. The au- 
thor is of opinion that a careful revision of non-North American 
tribes, on the basis of his own division into 3 subfamilies, would 
result in the union of several of the former ; but it seems at 
least equally probable that his own arrangement, confined to a 
comparatively local fauna, may be founded on erroneous, because 
insufficient, grounds. Copious synoptical tables are given; and
