ZOOLOGICAL LITERATURE. 
I. Apterous; elytra soldered at suture 1. Dictyneis^^.n. 
II. Winged ; elytra not united at suture. - 
A. Prosternum separated from episterna by sutural grooves. 
1. Sides of thorax often interrupted at base and apex^ always armed 
with irregular teeth 2. Myochrous. 
2. Sides of thorax entire, unarmed. 
a. Four hinder tibiae simple 3. Glyptoscelis. 
b. Four hinder tibiae notched at apex 4. Pachnephorus. 
B. Prosternum continuous with episterna, sutural grooves obsolete. 
5. Pi'yxiaj g. n. 
Diciymis (g. n.) is confined to Ohili and the Argentine Republic ; its type 
is Myochrous puhinoUis (Blanch.). 
The group Bromiince is also characterized and has its genera 
tabulated by Baly (/. c. p. 438). The genera adopted by him 
are the following : — 
I. Claws bifid. 
A. Lateral border of thorax entire ; club of antennae 5-jointed. 
1. Bromius. 
B. Lateral border of thorax obsolete in front ; club of antennae G- 
jointed 2. Syricta. 
n. Claws appendiculate. 
A. Joints of tarsus of equal width ; body metallic. . 3. Acrothinmm. 
B. Basal joint of tarsus narrower than the two following joints ; body 
not metallic 4. Lophea. 
' Bromius (Chevr. part. )=Tnc7m6'Ary sea (Baly), characterized 1. c. p. 439, is 
employed by the author for a section of the species to which it was applied 
by Chevi’olat, the typical section, including B. vitisj having been made into a 
genus under the name of Adoxus by Kirby. The type of the genus as esta- 
blished by Baly is B. hirtus (Fab.) ; other described species are B. philippi-r 
nensis{BiSi\Y))B.hehe (Baly),-S. evanescens (Baly), Tnchochrysea vestita (Baly), 
T. mouhoti (Baly), Heteraspis jcipana (Motsch.), and Calomorpha impcrialis 
(Baly). Syricta (Baly), 1. c. p. 440, is proposed as a substitute for Calomoi'- 
pha (StSl), the latter name, approaching in the author’s opinion, too nearly to 
Callimorpha. Acrothmium (Marsh.), 1. c. p. 441, is removed here from the 
Corynodinas ; and Lophea (g. n.), /. c. p. 441, is founded on a new species. 
Fairniaire has continued his translation of Suftrian’s Monograph of 
the European Chrysomelce in Ann. Soc. Fr. 4“ st3r. tome v. pp. 37-82. 
He gives the descriptions of the species belonging to groups 11-13 of Sulfrlan 
and adds descriptions of C*. niyriceps (Fairm.), 1. c. p. 09, C. commxdata (SulF.) 
=7nelanocephala (Suff. nec Dufts.) and C. plagiata (Sufi*.), 1. c. p. 70. He 
also adds descriptions of 21 other species detected since the publication of 
Sufftian’s monograph, including the following known species : — C. afra (Er.), 
1. c. p. 71 ; C. ?nada^a (Fairm.), 1. c. p. 76 ; C. porphyrea (Fald.) 
punctata (Reiche), 1. c. p. 7G; C. thalassina (Reiche) and C. crassipes (Luc.), 
1. c. p. 78; C. limitata (Kiist.) and C. lutco-cincta (Fairm.), 1. c. p. 79; C. 
angelica (Reiche) and C. cegyptiaca (Oliv.), 1. c. p. 80. Fairniaire also states 
that C. pelagica (Chevr.) = o&sc«?-e//a (Suff), C. schotti (QwiW') = ei'ythromera
