Byrsopsides. 
Allard (B. E. Z. xiv. Beih. p. 185 et seq.) tabulates and describes the 
European species, which are comprised in two genera, Bhytirhmus and Oro~ 
nops. In Taf. i. he gives outlines of the bodies of 20 out of the 23 members 
of the former genus. [England, in which Gronops tunatus is widely distri- 
buted, is omitted from the list of localities given for that species.] 
Rhytirhinus impressicoltis, Luc., from Algiers, is doubted as being iden- 
tical with Boh. & Schonherr’s species of that name from France. Kraatz, 
B. E. Z, xiv. p. 272. 
Gronops seminiger, sp. n., All. t. c. p. 205, Alsace. [ ? = tunatus, var,] 
Synthocus nigropictus, sp. n., Pascoe, P. L. S. x. p. 463, pi. xix. f. 11,
