Strongyliides, 
Pascoe (1. c. p. 295) refers to the unsatisfactory state of this subfamily, and 
especially to the inordinate number of species contained in the typical genua 
Strongylium. 
Tyndarisus, g. n., Pascoe, ibid. Distinguished by the great length of the 
ant. tarsi, which rather exceed the rest, and by its transverse prothorax, of 
which the lateral margins are produced. Sp. T, lonyitarsis, sp. n., Pasc. 
ibid., pi. xii. fig. 1, Australia. 
Hyperchalca, g. n., Fairmaire, 1. c. p. 238. Extremely close to Nesogena, 
and forming a still better transition to the Cistelidcd than that genus, accord- 
ing to the author. The characters given seem quite insufficient to separate 
it from Nesogena, supposing N. acutipmnis (Fairm.) to be rightly included in 
that genus. Sp. H. cenescens, sp. n., Fairm. I, c. p. 238, Ste. Marie de 
Madagascar.

CiSTELTDyE. 
Fairmaire (Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 4® s^r. ix. p. 239) notes an example of 
Cistela melanura (King), from Kalalou,Madag., which difiers from the type in 
smaller size as well as in colour and punctuation. . He thinks that Plesia 
(Klug) cannot be separated generically from Cistela. 
The type of Cistela amplicollis is now in Bonvouloir’s collection. Grenier,

Kirsch (Berl. ent. Zeitschr. xiii. pp. 97-128) describes many new (and a 
few little-known) species of Oniopldus, and tabulates the members of that 
genus. He places at its beginning, as nearest to Cteniopus, the species of 
Ileliotaurus (Muls.), which he rejects as a genus, and gives the following 
synonymy : — O. galhanatiis (Kies.) = curvipes (Brull^), var., p. 106; lividipes 
(Muls.) = amerinm (Curtis), var. minor, p. 107 ; atripcs (Kiist.) = Jlavipennis 
(Kiist.), p. 118 ; elongatus (Kiist.) and alpinus (Mill.) = lepturoides (Fab.), 
p. 120 ; dilatatus (Fald.), rugicollis (Kiist.), and hrevicollis (Muls.) = rugosi-' 
collis (Brulle), p. 122. He describes a variety of O. dispar (Costa), which he 
names dahnatinus (p. 116), and another of O. lepturoides (Fab.), which he 
names pilosellus (p. 120). 
Omophlus. Kirsch, 1. c., describes the following new species : — O. mulsanti, 
p. 103, Algeria; O. chalybmis, ibid., Egypt; O. kiisteri, p. 106, Turkey; O. 
gracilipcs, p. 108, Syria ; 0. btndldi, p. 109, Greece (? quadricolUs, Brulle) ; O.

p. 116, Sarepta; O. tarsalis, ibid., Caucasus; O. turcieus, p. 117, Turkey, 
Greece ; O. injirmus, p. 119, Greece, Crete ; O. proteus, p. 123, Greece, 
Turkey, and merid. Russia ; O. caucasicus, ibid., Caucasus ; O. deserticola,
