Rhipidophorid.®. 
G. H. Horn, Tr. Am. Ent. Soc. v. pp. 121-125, discusses the species 
occurring in the United States. The prolongation of the maxillary lobes 
is not of generic value, but the separation of the anterior coxae is of 
specific importance. Some synonymy is given, from type specimens out 
of Uejean’s collection. R. pectinatus, Fab., is very variable, including 5 
other Fabrician so-called species, 1 of Germar, 8 of Melsheimer, and vari- 
color, Gerst.
