EuCNEMIDiE. 
Fornax calceatus (Say) belongs to the genus Dromceolus (Kies.), wliicb is 
identical with Isarthrus (Lee.). Leconte does not consider this group gene- 
rically distinct from Fornax. Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phil. 1866, p. 387. 
Eucnemis frontosus (Say) is regarded by Leconte as belonging to Hypoccelus 
rather than Nematodes (/. c. p. 388). 
Janson notices the occurrence of Throscus elateroides (Heer) in Britain, 
and gives diagnoses of the known British species, T. dermestoides, elateroides, 
and ohtusus. Proc. Ent. Soc. 1866, pp. x and xi.

Cebrionidas. 
Under the name of Fossipedes, Mulsant & Eey describe the 
characters and natural history of the French species of this 
family (Col. de France, Fossipedes), of which they admit only 2, 
viz. C. gigas (Fab.) andfabricii (Leach). They also describe C. 
dubius (Rossi) . The ^ and $ of C. gigas, the antenna of the 
? , and its larva are also figured by them on the first plate of 
this volume.
