Ptiniuae. 
Anobiides. Leconte (Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phil. 1865, pp. 
232-244) publishes a sketch of a monograph of the North- Ame- 
rican species of this group, which is especially valuable as bring- 
ing together most of the genera indicated in the works of Duval, 
C. G. Thomson, and Mulsant and Rey. Leconte proposes (/. c. 
p. 223) to divide his subfamily Anobiini (excl. Ptilinus) into the 
following secondary groups : — 
* A. Head received in repose upon the under surface of the prothorax. 
‘ ' Group Anobia. 
Prothorax not excavated beneath j head free . . Subgroup DryopJdli. 
Prothorax excavated beneath for the reception of head. 
Subgroup Anobia. 
B. Mandibles in repose resting against mesostemum. 
Group Xyletini. 
Head excavated beneath for reception of antennm. 
Subgroup Xyletini. 
Antennae received between coxae Subgroup Dorcatomata. 
The Dryophili include the following 3 genera : — 
I. Anterior coxae contiguous, prominent, conical. . Ernobius (Thoms.). 
II. Anterior coxae separated by prosternum. 
' Prpsternum moderate ; tarsi narrow Ozognathus (Lee.). 
Prosternum very short ; tarsi dilated Xestobium (Motsch.), 
The Anobia embrace twelve genera, which are tabulated by Leconte as 
follows il.G. p. 227) 
I. First ventral segment not excavated for reception of hind feet. 
A, Metasternum not excavated in front. 
1. Antennae not received between coxae.
