clawed tarsi. Sp. E. pluviata, pi xviii. f. 7, and E. rhombus, p. 458, W.

Byrsopsides.
ALLARD (B. E. Z. xiv. Beih. p. 185 et seq.) tabulates and describes the
European species, which are comprised in two genera, Bhytirhinus and Gronops.
In Taf. i. he gives outlines of the bodies of 20 out of the 23 members
of the former genus. [England, in which Gronops lunatus is widely distributed,
is omitted from the list of localities given for that species.]
Bhytirhinus impressicollis, Luc, from Algiers, is doubted as being identical
with Boh. & Schbnherr's species of that name from France. Kraatz,
B. E. Z. xiv. p. 272.
Gronops seminiger, sp. n. All. I. c. p. 205, Alsace. [ ? = lunatus, var.]
Synthocus nigropictus, sp. n, Pascoe, P. L. S. x. p. 463, pi. xix. f. 11,
