I'etraprio [no]cera^ g. n., Horn, 1. c. p. 544. Differs from Slnoxylum in its

E. Reitter, Verb. z.-b. Wien, xxviii. [for 1878, published in 1879], 
pp. 195-199, tabulates the genera. Trogoxylum, Lee., has the front tibias 
produced into a tooth at the apex, except in the N. American species. 
Lyctus deyrollii, Tourn., probably = suturalis. Fald. ; L. caucasicus, 
Tourn., •=. pubescens, Panz., L. Icevipennis, Fald,, = impressus, Com., is a 
Trogoxylum. The following new genera and species are described : — 
Lyctoxylon p. 196. Form of Trogoxylum ; both joints of antennal 
club very elongate, cylindrical ; thorax as in Lyctus, but laterally set 
with bristles. L. japonum, p. 199, Hindustan and Japan. 
Lyctopholis, p. 196. Thorax and general form of Lyctus ; second joint 
of club elongate, sides of thorax . toothed. L. foveicollis, St. Domingo, 
and stichothorax, Bogota, p. 199. 
Lyctus nitidicollis. Chili, Bogota, and longicornis, Bogota, p. 197, 
simplex, Colombia, and tomentosus, Mexico, p. 198. 
Trogoxylum recticolle, p. 199, La Plata.

Reitter, Deutsche E. Z. 1878, pp. 21-30, gives some corrections and 
additions to H. v. KiesenwettePs work in Naturg. Ins. Deutschl. v. 
[Zool. Rec. xiv. Ins. p. 9]. Octotemnus, considered by that author as a 
subgenus of Orophius, the type of a group Orophiidee, is really the 
older name, aud must stand. Ennearthrum should stand generically. 
Many synonymical observations are made ; Cis micans. Kies., nee Hbst., 
= hispidus, Payk. ; C. caucasicus. Mots., = rugulosus, Mell., = boleti, 
var. ; C. oblongus, Kies., nec Mell., =■ coluber, Ab.; C. laricinus, Mell., 
and pruinosulus, Perris (the latter fully described, tom. cit. p. 56), are 
referred to Ennearthrum ; Eridaulus jacquemarti, Thoms., nec Mell., = 
glabratus, Mell. ; Thomson is wrong in referring C. lineato-cribratus, 
Mell., to Orophius ; C. fronticornis, Kies., nec Panz., = Enn. affine, Cyl., 
Abeille de Perrin’s table of genera is published, and a dichotomous table 
given of all the European species. 
Cera\_to~\cis militaris, Mell., having nine-jointed antennas, is an En- 
nearthrum, and is wrongly placed by Crotch in his “ Check List ” as a
