CEuEMERIDiE. 
Ehcypalohrachium (Bohem.). Philippi (Stett. ent. Zeit. 1866, pp. 111-113) 
describes in detail the structural characters of P. clavipes (Boh.), placed by 
Boheman among the QEdemerides, and the apparent relationship of which to 
Ti'achelostenus was indicated by Lacordaire. In the structure of the sternum 
and of the legs the genus approaches Trachclostenus ', but the tarsi are all 
pentamerous and the structure of the mouth is quite different. Philippi 
leaves the position of the genus quite uncertain. P. clavipes is figured with 
details, taf. ii. fig. 6-5 and the buccal organs of Trachclostenus incequalis 
(Sol.) are represented for comparison, figs. 6 ^-6 k. 
Fairmaire’s genus Ananca is identical with Pascoe’s Sessmia. See Pascoe, 
Journ. of Ent. ii. p. 488. 
Ischnomera unicolor (Mels.) =AscZem ; and (Edemera vestita (Say) 
is probably a Stereopalpus. Leconte, List Col. N. Am. p. 70, note. 
(Edemera nohilis (Scop.) is identical with and prior to (E. cceridea (Linn.).
