SlLPHIDAS. 
C. G. Thomson (Skand. Col. ix. p. 340) refers the genus Eucinetus to this 
group, where he makes it constitute a tribe of his family Gatopidce, as shown 
in the following table : — 
A. Posterior coxm very large, laminated, concealing the femora ; antennm 
not clavate Eucinetina. 
B. Posterior coxae simple ; posterior femora fr’ee. 
a. Antennae rather long, club 6-jointed, interrupted . . Catopina. 
h. Antennae not reaching base of thorax, club not interrupted. 
Mylcechina. 
He characterizes the genus Eucinetus and the species E. hcBmorrhoidalis 
(Germ.), which has been detected in various parts of Scandinavia, 
Catopdmorphus fainnairii (I)elarouz6)=C. foriniceto}'um (Poyr.), accord- 
ing to Abeille de Perrin (Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 4® stSr. vii, p. 69). 
Necrophorus. Grenier refers N. gallicus (J. Buv.) and N. microcephalus 
(Thoms.) as varieties to N. fossor and ruspator respectively. Bull. Soc. Ent. 
Fr. 1867, p, X. 
8ilpha IcBvigata (Fab.). Girard notices the destruction of snails by this 
species and its larvae (Bull. Soc. Ent. Fr. 1867, p. Ixy). It is assisted by 
8. obsoura (Linn.).
