COLEOPTEKA. 
h b. Antennae straight ; gular margin not pro- 
minent ; claws toothed. (This is the 
nearest approach to the Rhynchitidce.) 
Subf. 3 Ithyceridoi. 
aaa. Mandibles varying in form, usually 3-toothed, 
sometimes oblique without teeth, gular margin 
not prominent, peduncle usually long. Subf. 4 Curculionidcc. 
B. Condyles of mandibles on upper side, motion vertical 
Subf. 6 Balaninidce. 
The subfamily Bathyrini, formerly proposed, and coming next after 
the Sitonidce, is now dropped, its typical genus, Bathyris, Lee., being 
found identical with Coleocerus, contained in the Promecopini, a tribe of 
the author’s Otiorrhynchidos. The fourth subfamily is substituted for 
the Mecorrhynchi^ and the Balaninidoi are added. 
The Curculionidod (genuini)” consist of the following tribes: — 1, 
Phytonomini (groups Phytonomi and Listroderi)^ 2, Emphyastini, 3, Hylo- 
biini^ 4, Cleonini^ 5, Erirrhini (groups Erirrhini^ DesmorrhineSy Eugnomi, 
CryptopU, Stenopelmiy Brachypi, Hydronomiy PhycocoeteSy n.), 6, Tracho- 
diniy 7, Otidocephaliniy 8, Magdaliniy 9, Anthonominiy 10, Prionomeriniy 
11, Tychiiniy 12, Cioniniy 13, Derelominiy 14, Lcemosacciniy 15, Cryptor- 
rhyncliini (groups Ithyporiy Acamptiy and Cryptorrhynchi)y 16, Zygopiniy 
17, Tachygoniniy 18, Ceuthorrhynchi (groups Mononychiy CmliodeSy Ceuthor- 
rhynchiy and Phytohii)y 19, Barini (groups Barides and Centrini), 
20, Hormopini (nov.). 
Many new genera and species are proposed or characterized, and these 
will in the present Record be noticed, wherever practicable, under the 
usual headings according to the system of Lacordaire, now universally 
adopted. It may, indeed, bo observed that endless confusion is likely to 
arise if works like the one under notice, based upon the study (however 
accurate) of the fauna of a limited district or country, are allowed by 
entomologists to disturb a generally accepted classification, founded upon 
cosmopolitan material. That eminent naturalists, such as Drs. Leconte 
and Horn, should be able to add materially to our knowledge, is, of 
course, a subject both of expectation and congratulation ; but it is to be 
regretted that they have thought it expedient to construct a new system 
in order to include their comparatively local novelties, the characters of 
which, in very many cases, appear from their own showing to be recon- 
cilable to an equal extent with that already in vogue. 
In the Appendices, the author reproduces the descriptions of 31 un- 
recognized N. American species, with occasional suggestions as to their 
identity, and also gives a list of corrections (p. 437) to Gemminger and 
Von Harold’s Catalogue, concluding with some useful bibliographical 
tables, by B. Pickmau Mann, of memoirs relating to the Economic Ento- 
mology of the Rhynchophora of the United States.
