Jekel afterwards (/. c. pp. 526-527) gives a table showing how 
these groups, treated as genera, would take their place in a gene- 
ral classification of the Geotrupides. He then describes in de- 
tail the characters of most of his subgenera, and nearly all the 
species belonging to them, the known species thus treated being 
the following : —
