more than the usual eleven segments, as much in some cases as forty. 
The beetles are not common and are essentially tropical. Three 
species of Callirhipis occur in India. 
STERNOXX. 
Schwarz gives the following classification of the Sternoxi :— 
Buprestidoe. 
Throscidce. 
Eucnemidce. 
Cerophytidce, 
E later idee. 
Dicrony chidce. 
Plastoceridce. 
Cebrionidce. 
The Eucnemidce are monographed by Bonvouloir (Ann. Soc. Ent., 
France, 1870) and the Cebrionidce in the same publication, 1874. The 
student will also find Maindron’s Elateridce in this publication for 1905, 
p. 319. Elateridce are listed by Schwarz and Buprestidoe by Kerre- 
manns in Genera Insectorum. 
Buprestidoe. 
There is a prosternal process extending back into a mesosternal

These beetles resemble Elateridce superficially but have not the 
hind angles of the prothorax produced backwards. They include tiny
