Chaudoir (Ann. Soc. Ent. Belg. xii. pp. 163-256) gives cha- 
racters for the genera and descriptions of the species which he 
associates as Coptoderides, making several divisions and sub- 
divisions of the numerous species of Coptodera proper, to which 
he reunites Belonogvatha, and from which he removes certain 
species referred to other genera by him. 
According to him (p. 164), Coptodera cmescens (Mots.) = Crassonychus 
viridis (Dej., Dromius), of which C. vhloroptera (Mots.) is probably only a 
colour variety. 
Nyctek championi (Murray) and Thyreopterus laticollk (Lat)= Coptodera 
jigurata (Chaud.). 
Rhaphidognatha trimacnlata (Murr.) is probably a Belonognatha. 
Rhinockila lem'ati (Montrouz.) is a Coptodera of the Belonognatha group. 
Coptodera gagatina (Dej.) belongs to the Thyreopterides {Ferus, Chaud.); 
C. yilvipes (Dej.) is a Mochtherus ; C. guttata (Chaud.) is type of a new genus 
Agonochila) C. incerta and C. viridis {^o\iqv) = Crassonychus viridis (Dej., 
Dromius)) C. nigripmnis (Gory) does not belong to the group; C. ohtus- 
angida (Chaud.) is a Lelis\ C. quadripustulata (Dej.) is allied to Plochionus. 
Beleopterus cyanipennis (lOug) and Catascoqms dejmessus (Chaud.) = Cop- 
todera m ada gascariensis. 
Lebia acutipennis, cenea, nitidula, rufa and triangularis (Buquet), accord- 
ing to types, must all be refen-ed to Coptodera. 
C. undulata (Perty)=C. depressa (Dej.), Chaud. 1. c. p. 166; C. luteopicta 
(Chaud.) = (Buquet), p. 172; Lebia cenea (Buquet) = C. emarginata 
(Dej.), p. 175; C. velox (Gory) and Lebia rufula (Buquet) = C. (Doj.), 
p. 178; C. obscura (Casteln.) = (Ciievr.), p. 178; C. viridipennis
