Belon, M. J. Histoire Naturelle des Col^optbres de France, par E. 
Mulsant, Famille des Lathridiens partie). Anu. Soc. L. Lyon, 
xxvi. pp. 157-365. 
The introductory and general observations, and the descriptions, ate 
very elaborate. One new genus and three new species are described. 
Corticaria. Full synonymy of the European species, pp. 67 & 68 ; C. 
spinulosa, Thoms., nec Mannerh., renamed thomsoni, p. 66 ; Reitter, 
Yerh. z.-b. Wien, xxx. The genus Melanophthalma, Motsch., is recharac- 
terized, remodelled, and renamed Corticarina, simply because it was ill- 
defined and badly characterized before [!] ; id. 1. c. pp. 58 & 68. 
Neoploptera, g. n., Belon, Ann. Soc. L. Lyon, xxvi. p. 185. Allied to 
Colovocera, antennae 8-jointed, inserted on the forehead; eyes glo- 
bular, occupying all the side of the head ; pronotum retracted at the 
front, broader at the base, which is bisinuated. Type, N. 2 ^^regrina, 
sp. n., 1. c. p. 186, Rouen (probably introduced from W. Africa).
