The genus Periielus is fully characterized by the author, t. c. 
pp. 283-289, and the genus is divided by him into the following 
subgenera : — 
I. Funiculo robusto, articulo clavce 1° 2® vix angustiore. 
A. Corpore elytrisque dense squamosis Peritelm. 
B. Corpore elytrisque nudis, unguiculis inrequalibus connatis. 
Gymnomorphus, 
il. Funiculo gracili, articulo clavce 1® 2" multo augustiore, Unguiculis basi 
connatis Leptosphceroius. 
The subgenus Peritehis is divided into eleven subordinate groups ; and the 
total number of species, the distinctive characters of which are tabulated on 
pp. 290-291, is twenty-nine, or, including seven forms^ the relation of which
