BRUCHIDA5. 
Lacordaire (Genera des Coleopteres, tome vii. pp. 597-607) 
divides the Bruchidoi into the two tribes Urodontides, with an 
antennal elub of 3 joints, and Bruchides vraiSy with the antenna) 
subperfoliate, dentate, or peetinate. The former includes only 
the genus Urodon (Schonh.) ; the latter the 2 genera Spermo- 
phagus and Bruchus. Aglycyderes (Westw.) is placed provi- 
sionally with the Bruchides, 
Bruchus margincllus. The metamorphoses of this species are described by 
Goureau ; it feeds in the seed-vessels oi Astragalus glyciphyllos. Goureaii also 
notices its parasites, and indicates some other insects found upon the same 
plant, especially one living in galls upon the branches, which he conjectures 
may be either an Ajnon or a Cynips. Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 4° s^r. tome vi. pp.

BRENTHIDiE. 
Lacordaire (Genera des Coleopteres, tome vii. pp. 399-475) 
treats of this family, which he divides into the two tribes : — 
Brenthides vraisj with the antennae of 11 joints and of ordi- 
nary form, and 
Ulocerides, with the antennae usually of 9 joints (11-jointed 
in the new genus Pholidochlamys), deformed. 
The former of these tribes is subdivided by Lacordaire into 
12 groups, characterized as follows : — 
I. Prothorax much compressed in front and often excavated for the re- 
ception of the anterior legs. 
A. Antennae short, robust, in part moniliform TaphrodAridcs. 
B. Antennae long, slender, with subcylindrical joints. Ischnom6rides. 
II. Prothorax not compressed in front. 
A. Antennae moderate, often stout, and terminated by a club. 
1. Pro thorax ovate or conical, convex, and usually Avithout a furroAv 
above. . , 
* Head transverse, or a little longer than broad.
