Zopliosides. 
Achille Deyrolle^s postliamous monograph of the Zopho- 
sides (Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 4® ser. vii. pp. 73-248) greatly enlarges 
our knowledge of the insects of this subfamily. It contains de- 
scriptions of a great number of new species ; and the simple genus 
Zophosisj hitherto admitted in it, is here replaced by eight, as 
shown in the following table (p. 81). The types of all the new 
genera except one are described as new. There is a confusion 
in the naming of the genera, which will be noticed below ; — 
I. Claws equal. 
A. Posterior angles of protliorax salient, embracing the shoidders of the 
elytra. 
* Joint 1 of anterior tarsi nearly equal to the corresponding spin j 
joints 2-4 transverse. 
a. Mentum entire 1. IIologenosis. 
b. Mentum emarginate 2. Zophosis. 
t Joint 1 of anterior tarsi much longer than the corresponding spur ; 
joints 2-4 elongate 3. Cheibosi.?. 
B. Posterior angles of prothorax not embracing the base of the elytra ; 
elytra fulvous or brown, with white spots .... 4. Calosis. 
II. Claws unequal. 
A. Epipleural ridge entire. 
* Antennse smooth. 
a. Body shortly oval ; eyes moderately prominent above. 
6. AnisosisI 
b. Body oblong-oval j eyes very prominent above. 
6. Ophthalmosis. 
t Antennas beset with hairs j elytra suddenly narrowed at the extre- 
mity like a tail 7. Urosis^. 
B. Epipleural ridge indistinct for the greater part of its length ; elytra 
cordate, villose at the sides 8. Cardiosis. 
Zophosis. A. Beyrolle (/. c.) figures the following known species of this 
genus : — Z. quadrilineata (Oliv.), pi. I. fig. 7 j Z. angolensis (Erichs.), pi. I. 
fig. 6 ; Z. testudinaria (Fab.), pi. 1. fig. 2 ; Z. submetallica (Sol), pi. I. fig. G 
(details of mouth) ; Z. muricatd (Fab.), pi. 2. fig. 8.
