S. dorsalis, Dej., = flesus, F., var. 
Coscinia. Chaudoir, 1. c. pp. 113-125, in like manner discusses this 
genus, with which Cymhionotam, Baudi, is identical, and heretofore 
placed either in this group or in the Ditomides. It should form a special 
separate group, at the head of the second great division of Cardhidm, in 
which the suture which joins the epimera of the mesosternum to their 
episterna does not reach the intermediate coxa) ; but differing from all 
others in the group by wanting this suture, and by having no epimera 
to the posterior episterna, — in fact, forming a transition between the 
two great divisions. Dejean and Lacordaire are wrong in stating that 
the mentum is soldered to the neck, with no suture, that it has no tooth 
in the emargination, that the mandibles are not toothed internally, and 
that the last joint of the palpi is cylindrical. Chaudoir recharacterizes 
the genus fully, and describes as new : —
