It seems, therefore, as if Pentheus Koch might suit for the officinalis section (see Budde-Lund, 1885, p. 50 and 1904, p. 97), but I do not definitely propose this as I have had access to the works of neither Brandt nor Koch.

I consider, however, that Budde-Lund's subgenera may well be elevated to the rank of genera, in spite of certain forms which appear to be somewhat transitional and thus soften the sharp lines of demarcation drawn by Budde-Lund. For example, aenigma and cingulatus (pp. 372, 373), which in struc- ture of the head and number of mandibular penicils are forms of Diploexochus, have the very broad pronotum characteristic of Bethalus and Cubaris. On the other hand macrodens (p. 311) is a Bethalus as.
