CiiAPUis, in Ills Monographic des Platj^pidcs, lias raised tlic 
number of known species belonging to that subfamily from 16 
to 202 , the new forms being chiefly derived from the Malasian 
region (collected by Wallace) and from tropical America. The 
greater part of the species are referred by Cbapnis to the old 
genus Platyjms, which includes 148 species (8 previously de- 
scribed) ; CrossotarsuSf a dismemberment of Platypus, includes 
29 species, of which 26 are new ; Tesserocerus , with 15 species, 
includes 4 previously described; the remaining 6 new genera 
are all formed of new species, varying in numlDcr from 1 to 4 . 
The following is a table of the characters of the genera : — 
I. Maxillary palpi uiembraiiaceous, depressed. 
A. Mentum in <4 coarctate at base ; pygidium exposed in botli
