Meloid^. 
Philippi (Stett. ent. Zeit. 1864, pp. 356, 357) states that specimens, agreeing

that the cliaracters derived from the claws are of no great importance. Speci- 
mens of 3f, cancellatus (Sol.) from Corral differ from Solier’s description by 
having a wrinkled head, and a broad, strongly rugose prothorax.
