Hypocyptm, but with two distinct lines to the pleural portion of the 
elytra, of which the outer one or boundary is effaced in Hypocyptus. The 
insertion of the antennas is also peculiar, the articular cavity being 
nearer the top than the inferior boundary of the perpendicular portion 
of the eye. For F. latitans^ sp. n., id. 1. c. p. 202, Parana.

Qu&diides. 
PlatyprosopuB should be either placed in, or form a special group near, 
the Quediides ; several species occur in S. America, and in the antennal 
insertion and attachment of labrum approach Xantholinus more than the 
Old World species [they are discussed, infra, under Xantholinides, as the 
usual location of the genus] ; D. Sharp, Tr. E. Soc. 1876, p. 102.

Quedius fulgidus. “ Certains exemplaires immatures” of the common 
black form known as temporalis, Thoms., or mesomelinus. Marsh., are 
named rujithorax — a novelty in nomenclature ; and var. n. arvernicus is 
described from Auvergne, p. 613. All but one of the Thomsonian allied 
species, and also Q. variabilis, Heer, Q. ochripennis Men., and finally Q. 
fulgidus, F., are elaborately recognized and accepted, two new allied 
species being described ! Microsaurus ^-punctatus, Thoms., is considered 
to be a variety of Q. fulgidus, of which var. n. peranxius is described, 
p. 661. The authors conclude by gravely observing “ La synonymie 
de cette espece est inextricable.” Mulsant & Rey, 1. c.

cornis and microps (chrysurus ) ; iid. 1. c. p. 618. [The authors admit 
they have never seen Q. longicornis, as indeed might have been expected 
from the separate association of it with Q. chrysurus'].
