0. Thorax transverse, as broad as the elytra, or nearly so j posterior angles 
acute. 
* Elytra of $ opaque or silky Pheugims (Motscli.) 
{tardusj Panz.). 
* Elytra of $ nearly as shining as in cJ Conicus (Motsch.) 
(optahiliSf Fald.), 
Acupalpus. Motschulsky Q. e, pp. 205-207) , remarks upon the confusion 
that has arisen in consequence of the diversity of opinion of different authors 
upon the constitution of this genus, which he proposes to break up into 
five genera, as follows : — 
I. No tooth in the emargination of the mentum. 
A. Posterior angles of thorax rounded Manicellus (Motsch.) 
(A. elegans, lucasii, &c.). 
B. Posterior angles of thorax square or acute Anthracus (Motsch.) 
(A, conspectus, Gylh). 
II. Emargination of the mentum with a tooth. 
A. Subscutellar stria distinct. 
* Strise of elytra strongly marked. Acupalpus (Dej.) 
(A> verhasd, collaris, &c.). 
* Strise of elytra nearly efiaced in the middle . . LioceUus (Motsch.) 
^ (A. nitidus, obsoletus, &c.). 
B. Subscutellar stria wanting Bradgcellus (Plvichs.) 
{I'ujiihorax, cognatus, See.). 
Stenolophus. Motschulsky (/. c, p. 201) proposes the following division of 
the old genus Stenolophus ; — 
Last joint of maxillary palpi truncated at the extremity. 
A. Labrum straight in front Stenolophus (Meg.). 
" B. Labrum arcuate in front Loxoncus (Schm.-Gob.). 
II. Last joint of maxillary palpi acuminate .... Egadroma (MoiQeXi.) 
(type smaragdulus, Fab.). 
Of the species of Stenolophus thus restricted Motschulsky gives an analy- 
tical table Q.c. pp. 201-204). (Schmidt-Gbbel) includes L. ele- 
vatus of that author, figured and named, but not described, in the ^ Faunula 
Birmannica (pi. 3. fig. 9), and also Stenolophics alacer (Bej.), and probably 
S. velox. The species of Egadroma are also tabulated (J. c. p. 205).
