G. H. Horn (Trans. Amer, Ent. Soc. i.pp. 152-154) discusses 
tlie characters and position of the genus P.seudomorpha and its 
allies, noticing particularly the resemblance to the Dytiscidse to 
be found in the form and position of the posterior coxae. He 
considers that these Insects form a distinct family {Pseudontor- 
phid(B), and ^‘^alink from theCarabidae through the Amphizoidae 
to the Dytiscidae, with undoubted tendencies towards the Gy- 
rinidae/’ His views are indicated in the following table of the 
Adephagous families : — 
I. Legs cursorial. 
A. Metasternum attaining the abdomen ; hind coxae separated. 
1. Antennae inserted on the front Cicindelidce. 
2. Antennae inserted under the margin of the front . . Carahidce. 
B. Metasternum not attaining the abdomen ; hind coxae contiguous. 
1. Metasternal parapleurae attaining the abdomen. . Pseudomoiphidce. 
2, Metasternal parapleurae not attaining the abdomen. 
Amphizoidce. 
II. Legs natatorial. 
A. Eyes 2 ; antennae filiform Pytiscidce. 
B. Eyes 4 ; antennae irregular Gyrinid<x.
