Scaritides. 
PuTZEYS has published (Ann, Soc. Ent. Belg. x. pp. 1-242) a 
revision of the genera and species of this group, with the excep- 
tion of those forming his sections Pasiinachides and Scaritides. 
He remarks upon the distinctive characters of the six sections 
into which he divides the group, but describes a new species of 
Molobrus, belonging to the first of the above-named sections, and 
characterizes the genus Passalidius (Chaud.), which, with Acan- 
thoscelis, he places between his Scaritides and Scapterides. His 
genus Bohemannia he regards as following the Scapterides. The 
whole of the described species of the four sections (Scapterides y 
Oxystomidesy ClivinideSy and Ardistomides) here treated of are 
enumerated, and in most cases characterized with more or less 
detail. The new species described are numerous, and several 
new genera are characterized.
