ScYDMAiNlDAS. 
Motschoulsky (Bull. Mosc. xlii. pp. 252-272, tab. viii. 12) supplements his 
enumeration published in 1851. He gives the following synonymy : — Mi- 
crostemma lapidaria, M.ota.f=.tarsata (M. &Kunze) Cyrtoscydmus obscuri- 
cornis, Mots., (Steph.); C. vermdis, Mots., = chevneri (lleer) 
C. spinimanus, Mots. ,= pusillus (M. & Kz.) cJj C. co//am, var. (Chaud.),= 
lonyicollis, Mots.’, Scydmcenus gibhulus, Mots., =-pumilio, Schaum ; S. exilis, 
Sc\un.,=^ names, Miirk. j S. hdvolus, \joo., ■= claoicornis, Mots.; S. hirticoUis 
(111.) = (F.) ; Mgialites (Mann., 1853) —Elosoma (Mots., 1845) ; and E. 
persica (Mots.) comes from Eussian America, and = Mots., 5? 
which has nothing to do with debilis (Esch.). The author figures the ciba- 
rian organs of Mastigus palpalis, Leptoderus howemoarihii, Syndicus jnlicornis, 
Tetramdus pubicollis, Eumicrus rufus, Microstemma tarsata, Cyrtoscydmus 
godarti, eollaris, and sciddlaris, Scydmcenus angulatus, claviger, and hirticoUis, 
Cephennium intermedium, and Euthia plicata. 
Be Saui.cy (1. c. p. 90, note) considers that Scotodytes, associated with his 
now genus Orodytes (from Corsica), should form a separate group, under the 
name Scolodytidce. 
Leptonotus, g. n., Mots. 1. c. p. 253. More oval thoLW Leptoderus (Schm.), with 
rather wider head and thorax, but narrower elytra, which are more rounded 
at apex, as in Pholeuon, only connate, and with no scutellum. Ant. tarsi 
pontam. in ^ , tetram. in $ . I^yeless and wingless. No antennal club. Sp. 
L. sericeus (Schm., Leptod.). 
Tetramdus, g. n.. Mots. 1. c. p. 257 {Scydmcenus, 2 L\xci., partim. No compar. 
diagn. given). Sp. T. oblongus (Stm.), pubicollis (Miill. et K.), agilis and 
? transversicornis (Mots.), styriacus (Grimm.), rufidus (Chaiid.). 
Cyrtoscydmus, g. n.. Mots. 1. c. p. 260. Comprises such of the Scydmeeni as 
have narrow, indistinctly toothed, falciform mandibles, feebly clavate an- 
tennm, and apterous females ; and, compared with the author’s true Scyd- 
mcenus, a generally less angular form, more strongly punctured and more 
evenly pubescent surface ; a cordate thorax, more convex in front, with large 
basal foveolae, and ant. tibiae more or less triangularly dilated. The well- 
known S. godarti (Latr.), scutdlaris, and eollaris may be taken as types of this 
genus (of which the author enumerates 26 species), which is equivalent to 
Erichson’s first group. 
New species : — 
Scydmemus. De Saulcy, 1. c., describes the following new species : — S. an- 
gustior, lusitanicus, and hcematodes, p. 90, Serra de Gerez ; laticeps, Mada de 
Bussaco and Serra do Gerez, distinguendus, Serra de Gerez, hey deni, Cea, Serra 
Estrella, p. 91 ; alcides and hospes, Algesiras, cordubanus. Sierra de Cordoba, 
cedicerus and navaricus, Zumarraga, p. 1)2.
