1)e Marseul (Ann. E. Belg. xiii.) characterizes the following new genera 
and species : — 
DimaluSy p. 65. Evidently carnivorous, though subcortical by its build • 
mandibles very robust, pointed, each armed internally with a bifid tooth, 
which fits into that of the opposite side. Allied to Phylloma (Er.), but with 
the maxillae inserted at the back of the mentum. Sp. D. platamodeSy p. 57, 
Cayenne. 
OpercUpygiiSj pp. 75 & 76. This bastard name is indirectly proposed by 
the author as that of a genus, the characters of which are mainly deduced 
from the description of the species on which it is meant to be founded. 
Comes between Platysoma and Cylistix, having the facies of the former, but 
with the pygidium elevated and surrounded by a deep circular furrow. Sp. 
O. sidcistrius, ibid., Amazons. 
Mecistostethus, pp. 123, 124. Another new genus of which the characters 
are to be deduced chiefly from the description of its single species. Resem- 
bles HovmlopyyuH ami SpatJumchm, but with piliferous punctures on the 
frons, an antennal depression in the prostornuin, a conical mesosternum, meta- 
sternum of excessive length, &c. Sp. M. pilifer, ibid., Amazons.
