The new genus Paradrilus and its species P. opaem (see ^Record,’ 1865, 
p. 466) are characterized in more detail by Kiesenwetter, Berl. ent. Zeits.

Leconte publishes (Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phil. 1866, pp. 349- 
361) a revision of the North- American Dasytini, tabulating and 
characterizing the genera belonging to the group and the spe- 
cies composing each genus. The following is his table of ge- 
nera : — 
I. First joint of tarsi not shorter than second (claws equal in length ; joints 
2 & 3 of tarsi not dilated; last joint of palpi not securiform). 
A. Anterior tibiae with an external row of spines. 
1. Pristoscelis (Loc.). 
B. Anterior tibiae without spines. 
a. Membranous appendages equal, nearly as long as claws, in great 
part connate 2. Listrus (Motsch.). 
b. Appendages connate, one long, the other shorter. 
3. Dolichosoma (Ste.). 
' c. One appendage long, connate, the other dentiform. 
4. Allonyx (Lee.). 
d. Both appendages short, connate, usually dentiform. 
5. Dasytes (Fab.). 
e. Membranous appendages long, equal, free to the base. 
6. Eschatocrepis (Lee.). 
II. Fii’st joint of tarsi shorter than second. .. . 7. Melyris (Fab.). 
Pristoscelis includes Pyturosomus, Trichoclirous, and Emmenotarsus 
(Motsch.). 
ILeesenwetter (Berl. ent. Zeits. 1866, pp. 264-274) notices the occurrence 
in the south of Spain of numerous species of this family, and describes the 
new species briefly indicated by him in his former paper (see ^ Record,’ 1865,
