This name suggested for a new group, to be placed near the Aphodiides^ 
containing the genera mentioned infra., and probably Ereinazud, Muls., 
and AEgialia marmottanl, Fairni. (? = E. unistriatus, Muls.). The chief 
character is in the ventral portion of the hind-body, which is quite that 
of the Trogides. D. Sharp, Ent. M. M. xi. pp. 123 & 124.
