PSELAPHIDAS. 
Brendel publishes (Proc. Ent. Soc. Phil. vi. pp. 31-38) a synoptical table 
of the North American species of Pnelajdiidcs, in which ho adopts the general 
classification of Leconte, and briefly characterizes the species and genera. 
Dividing them into Pselaphini and Euplectini, he further divides the former 
into Pselaphi and Bryaxes^ — the Pselaphi including the genera Ceophyllus^ 
CediuSj Tmesiphorus^ Ctenistes, Tyrus, Cercoce?'us, Pselaphus, and Tychus\ 
and the Bryaxes the genera Bythinus {B. carinatus and zmiatus^ Brend.), 
Bryaxis^ Decm'thron (Brend.), Eupsenms, Artlimius^ and Batrisus. The 
North American Eiqdcctmi form 4 genera : — IHmlmn, EiqdeotuSy lihexiusj 
and Faronus. 
Leconte (Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phil. 1866, pp. 108-109) remarks on the 
Clavigerides^ in which group he establishes a new genus, as shown in the fol- 
lowing table : — 
A. Eyes wanting. 
* Antenna) 6-jointod Claviyer. 
t Antenna) with a long homogeneous club and two short basal joints. 
Adranes. 
B. Eyes distinct, composed of a few aggregated lenses. 
* Antennae with 1 short basal joint and a long club, having traces of 
transverse sutures Fustiyer^ g. n. 
t Antenna) (? without basal articulation) with a broad club of homo- 
geneous structure Articerus. 
Brendel states (Proc. Ent. Soc. Phil, v. pp. 256-288) that Bryaxis velu-

Grenier mentions the capture, by sweeping, of a species of Claviyer. The 
net contained a great quantity of ants, which leads to the supposition that 
the beetle was being carried with them on a migration. Bull. Soc. Ent. Fr.
