CRYFTOPHAGIDiE. 
Latridii. Motschulsky (Bull. Soc. Nat. Mosc. xxxix. 2. pp. 225-229) cha- 
racterizes this group, and remarks upon its constituent genera as follows : — 
Of the genera referred by Lacordaire to his Latridii, Langelandia, Monotoma, 
Basycerusy and Myrmecoxenus are to be excluded. Langelandia forms a dis- 
tinct family ; Monotoma constitutes a separate tribe, following the Pycnome- 
rides among the Colydiidee. Basycerus goes at the end of the Trichoptery- 
gidcBy and Myrmecoxenus among the Cucujidee. Berodontus (Leconte) goes 
with Phloiophilus (Waterh.). Lathridius museorum (Ziegl.) is a species of 
Qeoxenus (Motsch.), belonging to the Cucujidcey and L. unicolor (Ziegl.) is 
a species of Cerylon, Motschulsky regards the Latridii as most nearly 
allied to the Trichopteiygidce. He gives the following table of the genera : —
