Trogositid.®. 
E. Reitter, Deutsche E. Z. 1876, Heft iv. pp. 27-96, pis. i. & ii. (also 
published in Verb. Ver. Briinti. xiv. pp. 3-69, but quoted here from the 
former as the more accessible periodical), gives a systematic arrangement 
of this family. He adopts as subfamilies, (1) llelotidcc, without doubt to 
be removed here from the vicinity of the Engides, and forming a tran- 
sitional group from the Ipides to the true Trogositides ; (2) Trogosotidae, 
with groups Nemosomini, Trogositini, Leperini, and Peltini [for the first 
of these, the author adopts the rendering Nemozomini^ from the incorrect 
and abandoned spelling “ Nemozoma ” by Latreille of the type genus. 
The derivation is very evident ; and, if any correction is to be made, the 
word should be spelt Nematosoma, i.e., thread-body. For a just criti- 
cism on the author’s scheme of giving his subfamilies the same termina- 
tion as the family of which they are part, see E. v. Harold, C. H. xv. 
p. 168, note]. Dupontiella, Spin., does not belong to the Cleridm^ but to 
this family, near Nemosoma. D. ichneumo [wo] ides^ figured, pi. i. fig. 8. 
The following new genera and species are characterized ; —
