Pocadius wajdehta^ sp. il., Wankowioz, Ann. Soc. Ent. Fi*. 4« s6r. ix. p. 415, 
Minsk. 
Tiiooositid^. 
Muller (Entom. Monthly Mag. v. p. 270) mentions an apparently unde- 
scribed Troijosita, from China, as injurious to raw silk. 
Pellia yvcmii (Allibcrt)=P. (King), according to Fairrnaire (Ann. 
Soc. Ent. Fr. 4®s(5r. ix. p. 202), who states that the insect is diilused over all 
intertropical regions, probably with rice. 
COLYDIID^. 
Fairmaire (Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 4® s6r. ix. p. 205) points out the relationship 
between Priolomus and Microprius, and gives characters for the latter. 
Colydiiim UneoUt and lonyimctdum (Say) are probably identical. Ziinmer- 
maiiii, l*roc. Amer. Ent. Soc. ii. p. 254. 
1)e Marseul (Nouvelles et faits divers, Sept. 1809, p. ii) records the cap- 
ture by Ancey, in the forest of Ste. Baunie (Var), in the dead branches of 
beech, of an insect resembling small Psarciis (sic) lepriemd, but for which, 
apparently, a new genus is required, as its antennae gradually increase to the 
extremity and the tai*si are four-jointed, except those of the anterior legs, 
which have only three joints. 
Ancey (Nouvelles et faits divers, Oct. 1809, p. viii) gives a diagnosis of 
this species, and again, in Deyrolle’s ^ Petites nouvelles Entomologiques ’ 
(no. 12, 15 Dec, 1809), gives a rough description of it, stating that it belongs 
to the Lathridiidcef and should be placed near Mycetcea. lie records six or 
eight specimens, from yew and beech. AnEii.Lis de Perrin, in Dec. 1809 
(Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 4® stSr. ix. p. 410), also calls attention to it as allied to 
Eusarcus^ a genus between Turpkius and Ditoma. 
Westwood (Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1809, p. 320) considers Aprostoma 
(Gu6r.) to have only an analogy with Culodromns (Prenthidee), and to be 
really allied to Colydium. 
Dieck (Berk ent. Zeitschr. xiii. p. 353) refers to the characters of two un- 
named and undescribed species of Anomnudus^ from Corsica and Nice. 
Motsoiiouj.sky (Bull. Soc. Imp. Nat. Mose. 1808, no. 3, p. 190) points 
out that Lacordairo is wrong in placing Monotoma among the Lathridiidce, 
and in assigning only 3 joints to the tarsi and 10 to the antemiie in that 
genus. He figures these members (tab. viii. fig. 10), showing that they are 
respectively 4- and 11-jointed, and observes that those characters and the 
mode of life assign Monotoma to the Colydiadce, next the Pycnomcridcs. 
After redescribing the characters of the genus at length (considering Ijacor- 
daire’s notice of it defective), the author enumerates 31 species known to 
him, of which the following, from their wanting the references given in all 
other instances, may bo supposed to be new : — AI. kindustana, East Indies, 
and ohtusicollis, South Itussia, p. 198 ; fuloipennis and suhniyra, N. America, 
and ceyyptiaca, Egypt, p. 199; parallelocoUis and corpidentu, New Orleans, aiul 
I'ohtistida, Amsterdam, p, 200. The following synonymic observations are 
made : — 31. rufa (Bedt.) = 4-t??ipressa (Mots., 1845) ; 4-foveolata (Aube) 
should be referred to INIotsch. ; convcxicoUis (Mots.) —anyuslala (Msh,, Steph.) 
[which is erroneously given as distinct from /oy/y/cu/ZA (CJyll. )] ) jninctalicolUs 
(Aube)= (Villa) [which is usually considered a var. oH quudricollis 
(Aube)].
