MoNOTOMIDiE.^^ 
E. Reitter, Deutsche E. Z. 1876, pp. 295-301, revises the family 
“ Monotomidoi (sensu Le Conte),’' in which elements of such varied 
affinities are discussed that it impossible to satisfactorily refer them to 
any group, as usually recognized. It includes genera heretofore included 
in the Rhizophagidoe by Reitter, but without Rhizophagus itself, which 
forms a separate tribe of the Nitidulidco, and including Monotoma. The 
following observations occur : — Mimema, Woll. [^Colydiidoe], = Phycono- 
mus, Lee. ; Crine, Pasc. \^Nitidulidce : script. Crime in Marschall’s Nomen- 
clator Zoolog.'], — Bactridium, Lee. ; Ilesperobmnus, Lee., and Nomophlceus, 
Lee., are at best only subgenera of the prior Europs, Woll. [Colydiidai] ; 
Platycephala, Montr. [from “Now. Celedon.” I], is near Phyconomus] 
Rhizophagus humeralis, Reitt., is referred to Ipsimorpha ; R. corpulentus, 
quadricollis, heydeni, orientalis, striolatus, adustus, and angulicollis, Reitt., 
and R. cubensis, Chevr., are referred to Bactridium. 
The following new genera and species are characterized : — 
Mimemodes, pp. 296 & 297. Differs from Phyconomus in the antennal 
club being uni-articulate, and from Bactridium in the form of the head, 
with strongly widened temples. For B. monstrosum, japonum, and cri- 
bratum, Reitt.
