The author, after referring to the general distinction of the Trunca- 
tipennes by their ligula being entirely adherent to its paraglossjB, re- 
marks upon’ the small number in which the tibiae, especially of the 
4 posterior legs, are terminated internally by two long spines, such 
as the GraphipterideSy Corsyra, the Masoreides, Tetragonoderides, Saro- 
throcr^pides, and Nemaiotarsus. ■ 
The Masoreidoi. proposed by Thomson to be re-united to the “ Cincho- 
m.enides” [!], are placed between the Coptoderides Sind Cymindides, and 
include Somoplatus, LophkUuSy Caphora, Masoreus (in which JEphnidiuSy 
Macracanthus, and Anaulacus are merged), and 3 new genera : — 
Colobonychus [also promiscuously written Colobonichus'], p. 4 ; having 
the hooks of the tarsi very short and thick, obtuse.-trigonate, with no 
visible toothing. For Lophidius brevicollisy Dej. 
MicrouSy pp. 4-8 ; with no pencil of hairs on the prosternum, tarsal 
claws arched, thin, and denticulate, antennae very moniliform and short, 
labrum emarginate in the middle. For “ Spl. moeguerysi,' p. 9, Port 
de Rouen, and Island of Pemba. 
Ophryognathus, pp. 3 & 5. No tooth in the mentum ; differing from 
Masoreus in the very sharply defined projecting margin of the mandibles, 
&c. For 0. tuberculatus, sp. n., p. 26, N. & E. littoral of South 
America. 
Various corrections and observations are made with regard to de- 
scribed species ; Masoreus laticolliSy Chaud., = orientalis, Dej., var. ; M. 
sericansy Schm. Gb., is near Mochtherus. The following new species are 
described : — 
Somoplatus marseuliyp. 7, Cebte (imported).
