rujieornis, ibid. ; C. lutulenta (J&Y.)=triangularis (Buqiiet, Lehia), p. 185 } 
C. postica (J)e].)=fasciata (Boh.), p. 193; C. spilota (Mots.)— cquestris 
(Boh.), p. 194; C. jlavosignata (Gory) is not a Lobodontus, but comes near 
A)'smoe, in another division, p. 211. 
Sf.enoglossa variegata (Ohaud.) and Dromius muUiguttatus (Putz.) = <S'. 
nigro&triata (Reiche, Tetrogonodenis) : Chaud. 1. c. p. 203. 
Beleoptenifi signatus (K\i\g) = Ngcteis hrevicollis (Casteln.), p. 210. 
Cliaudoir (/. c. p. 211) withdraws the name trimacidatm which ho pro- 
posed for his Lohodontus trisignatus, since the Coptodera trisignata of Buquot 
is not, ns ho supposed, to be referred to the same genus as his insect. 
Thyreopterus suhangulatus (Q(Oxvti.)=Agonochila lutosa (Newm., Lehid)^ 1. c. 
p. 229. 
Moclitherus (Schm. Gob.) is stated to have an extreme affinity to DoU- 
choctis (Schm.), from which its author widely separated it: Chaud. I, c. 
p. 241. M. rotundatus (Schm. G.) is apparently allied to D. qiiadriplagiata ;

Thyreoptcrm tctrascmm (Bej.), Mochtherus angulatus (Schm. G.), and Oyr~ 
topterus quadrinotatus (Mots.) == Mochtherus tetraspilotus (McL.) : ibid. 
Chaudoir, Ann. Soc. Ent. Belg. xii., characterizes the following new 
genera : — 
Lioptera, p. 208. Resembles Coptodera crucifera in form ; but its almost 
smooth and furrowless elytra, short transverse labrum, and short triangular 
mandibles are stated to distinguish it from all known Coptoderm. Sp. L. 
quadriguttata, sp, n., ibid., Philippine Islands. 
Idius, p, 212. Distinguished from Philophloeus by the strong dilatation of 
the anterior tarsi of the male, the joints being shorter, and some even trans- 
verse. Sp. I. moestus, sp. n., ibid., Melbourne. 
Lelis, p. 231. Distinguished from Coptodera by its ligula, which is elon- 
gate, obtusely rounded at the apex, and longer than the paraglossse, which 
are not connivent, and by the shape of its mentum. Sp. : L. hicolor, sp. n., 
ibid., Orizaba; L. viridipennis, sp. n., p. 233, Ega (= Coptodera rutilay Bates) ; 
L. hifasciata, sp. n., p. 235, Ega (— Coptodera polygonay Bates) ; L. ohtusan- 
gula (Chaud.) ; L. quadrisignata (Buquet, Lehia). 
Oxyodontusy p. 239. Distinguished by a sharp, prominent tooth in the 
emargination of the mentum. The ligula is contracted considerably at the 
apex, unlike Dolichoctisy to which it 4s allied. Sp. O. tripunctatus, sp. n., 
ibid., Celebes. 
Brachyctisy p. 252. Differs from Dolichoctis in the rugosity of its surface, 
which is covered with longish hairs, forming pubescence, in its shorter and 
stouter palpi, in the form of its ligula, and in the shortness of the claws of 
its tarsi, which are only feebly denticulated. Sp. B. rugulosuy sp. n., ibid., 
Borneo. 
Chaudoir, 1. c., describes the following species : — 
Coptodera affinisy p. 168, Ega, Upper Amazons ( = C. versicoloi'y Bates) ; C. 
hotesiy p. 172, Lower Amazons (-C. mcgalopsy Bates) ; C. tetrastigmay p. 174, 
Borneo; C. oxypteray p. 176, Celebes; C. ceneocupreay p. 177, Ega(=C. 
chalciteSy Bates) ; C. tripartitay p. 180 (no locality) ; C. sahlhergiy p. 181, 
Brazil; C. disctcollis, ibid., Bolivia; C. rotundipennisy p. 182, Ega (=C. re- 
hiccnsy Bates) ; C. australisy p. 184, Australia ; C. chalcopteray ibid., Ega
