After giving a table of the genera Tagona, Gnaptor, Dila, Codocne- 
modes, Prosodes, Leptomorpha, and Blaps, the author redescribes the 
species belonging to the first six genera, generally with outline figures, 
and adds a table of species belonging to Blaps, which he divides into 10 
subgenera.

not thicker than the others, or club-shaped ; elytra oval, widened to the
