Hyperides, 
Capiomont lias published (Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 4® ser. vii. pp. 
417-560) a monographic revision of this group. He restores the 
genus Macrotarsus (Schonh.) placed among the Cylindrorhinides 
by LacoPdaire. He describes the structui'e of the insects com- 
posing this groilp at great length, indicates the species of which 
the larvse have been observed, and discusses the views of various 
authors as to their classification and affinities. The Hyperides 
are divided by Capiomont into 2 subtribes, characterized as 
follows : — 
1. Cepm'ides. Metathoracic episterna broad, much dilated at their anterior 
extremity total length) j mesothoracic epimera large. 
2. Hyp6rides vrais. Metathoracic episterna narrow, not much dilated ante- 
riorly (less than total length) ; mesothoracic epimera but slightly deve- 
loped. 
The Cepurides include the following genera : — • 
I. J oint 7 of funiculus not confounded with the club j suture of elytra not 
gibbous before the middle. 
A. Pronotum tapezoidal 1. Cepurus (Schonh.). 
B. Pronotum not trapezoidal, usually transverse. 
1. Tibias of moderate length. 
a. Eostrum not twice as long as thick, cylindrical. 
* Last abdominal segment in (S as long as 2 preceding together. 
2. Cephalalges (Schonh.). 
t Last abdominal segment in d shorter than 2 preceding together, 
3. Isorhinusy g. n. 
h. Eostrum at least twice as long as broad, widened at the tip.
