CuRCULIONIDiE. 
Lacordaire (Genera des Coleopteres, tome vii.) lias completed 
his classification of the present family. In the previous volume 
(published in 1863) he indicated his proposed division of the 
Curculionidee into 2 legions — the Adelognathes , having the 
maxillm covered by the mentum, except sometimes at their base, 
and the suhmentum destitute of a peduncle, or only with traces 
of one ; and the Phanerognathes (vi. p. 286), in which the men- 
tum leaves the maxilla3 entirely exposed, and the suhmentum 
has a more or less prominent peduncle. The latter group in- 
cludes 2 cohorts, namely — the Bynmerides , with the anterior 
coxae contiguous or very slightly separated, and the prosternum 
not canaliculate between them ,* and the Apostasimerides, with 
these coxae more or less separated, rarely contiguous, and the 
prosternum often canaliculate. The exceptions to the group- 
characters among the Apostasimerides occur in the following 
genera, as stated by Lacordaire : — Gymnetrony EctatorhinuSj 
AcentruSy IthyporuSy Conotrachelus y Phacecorynes y SphenophoruSy 
XerodesmuSy OxyrhyncliuSy Ortho gnatlius y SipaluSy and Mesocor-
