Sphindid^. 
Le Conte, P. Am. Phil. Soc. xvii. p. 602, disputes the assignment of 
Sphindus to the end of the Ptinidce, on account of the small and not 
prominent coxae being distinctly separated by the prosternum, the form 
of the antennae and tarsi, and the way in which the antennae are flexed in 
repose. The club is really two-jointed. He characterizes the following 
two new genera, of which the first seems to indicate a relationship to 
the Derodontidce : — 
Odonto sphindus, p. 601. Differs from Sphindus in its elongate, glabrous 
body, laterally toothed thorax, strongly punctured, but not impressed 
striae, and prothoracic flanks not concave for reception of antennae. 0. 
denticollis, sp. n., ibid., Detroit, Canada, California. 
Eury sphindus, p. 602. Broad, hairy, with feebly impressed striae, and 
prothoracic flanks deeply and widely concave beneath. E. hirtus, sp. n., 
ibid., Detroit. 
Reitter, Yerh. z.-b. Wien, xxviii. p. '200, associates Sphindus and 
Aspidophorus in a special family, agreeing with Crotch in placing it near 
the Cioidce and Cryptophagidm. He describes as new : — 
Sphindus major and kiesenwetteri, p. 201, Mendoza, castaneipennis, ibid., 
and brevis, p. 202, J apan, amplithorax, Texas, and cubensis, Cuba, p. 202. 
Aspidophorus japonicus, p. 202, Japan. 
Tenebrionidj?. 
J. C. ScriioDTE, Nat. Tids. (3) xi. pp. 479-598, pis. v.-xii., continues 
his descriptions and figures of the earlier stages of Coleoptera, the present 
(9th) part solely referring to Tenebrionidce. He describes and figures 
with details the larvae (and also the pupae, when marked *), of the follow- 
ing species: — Pimelia inflata, pp. 479 & 523, pi. v. figs. 1-11 ; Scaurus 
atraius, pp. 480 & 526, pi. v. figs. 14-20; Acis reflexa, pp. 480 & 529, 
pi. V. figs. 12-21 ; Blaps similis, pp. 481 & 532, pi. vi. figs. 1-13 ; Cryp- 
titus quisquilius *, pp. 481, 535, & 586, pi. vii. figs. 1-6 ; Heliopates gibbus,
