CiSSiDiE. 
Qs. Crotch (Entomologist, iii. pp. 126-127) refers to the genera which 
have been recently formed at the expense of this genus, of which he seems t :> 
think only Octotemnus (Mell.) well founded. He also remarks on the syno- 
nymy of several species of Cis. 
Cis regidosus (Melli^), C. punctulatus (Gyll.), and C. Jacquemartii (Melli6) 
are recorded as British by Crotch (Cat. Brit. Col.). See Bye, Ent. Ann. pp. 
81-82.
