F. CiiAPUiS, Gren. Col. xh. p. 10, considers that this family has too 
much analogy with the Chrysomelidce to be removed by any considerable 
interval. He adopts three tribes, Langurides, Helotides, and Erotylides. 
The larva of Engis humeralis described by Bedel is considered probably 
to be that of a Cis (p. 20). Orestia is considered to be probably an inter- 
mediate form between the Erotylidce and Endomychidce (p. 76).

Amongst many synonymical and ’ other observations, the following 
occur ; — Languria convexicollis, C. O. Wat., nec Horn, is renamed water-
