ScinoDTE (Natiirli. Tids«kr. 3rd scr. iii.) discusses the eliu- 
racters of this family (sec antG^ p. 147), which he considers to 
include the Eucuemidee. His Eluterinij corresponding with the 
family as here understood, form the second section of his Ela~ 
teres. The Danish species, GO in number, are referred to the 
following genera : — 
Cardiphorus, Cryptohypnus, Lacon, Lissomus, Adelocera, Mehmotus, Adras- 
tus, Elater, Athoics, and Campylus. Elate)' includes the following groups as 
subgenera: — Ay)iotes, Se)-icoso))ius, Ampedm^ Zudins , Ischnodcs, Miujaptoi- 
theSf Fheletes, Ilypolithas, Linwnius, and Diacanthus. The buccal organs of 
the following species are figured : — Lissonius eqiieslris, Elater coieus, Ad/'astus 
limbatus, and Elate)' lineatus, 1. c. pi. 15. figs. 13-16. 
The two sexes of Cory))ibites (Diaemdhus) ceratus (Mills. & Guilleb.) are 
described by Desbrochers desLoges, Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 4*= ser. tom. v. p. 209. 
Kirsch has received Elate)' (A))tpedus) basalis (Mann.) from Ilginsk, in the 
government of Perm. Mannerheim described the species from Mongolian 
specimens. Berl. ent. Zeitschr. 1865, p. 123. 
Osten-Sackeii states that tlie larva described by him in Proc. Ent. Soc. 
l^hil. vol. i. p, 125, and figured plate 1. fig. 8, proves to be luminous, emitting 
a soft green light, and is probably that of MeUuiactes. Proc. Ent. Soc. Phil, 
vol. iv. pp. viii-ix.
