Group IV.âPhysorhlnl. The small number of species constituting this group have the third joint of the tarsi furnished beneath with a membranous lobe, the fourth being small, and received upon the fourth. The front is very convex, its anterior margin rounded; the posterior coxal plates very narrow externally, suddenly dilated and strongly ' M'M toothed internally; the claws are simple; the mesosternum always ,' v'^ oblique; the prostcrnal sutures double, and iu our gu-'uera exeu- f vated in front. - Coxal plates very suddenly, almost rectangularly, ; '' ..*,â â Second and third joints of antouure together ei^ual to the fourth. - CEEPlDOTRITrS. Third joint equal, or nearly equal, to the fourth. BiiAcuYCKEpis. Coxal plates obliquely, but very strongly, dilated; second and third joints i'. of antennas together nearly equal to the fourth, \M To Crepidotritus belong Cryptohypnus cinereipennis Mann.

To Brachycrepis I would refer, besides the type B. bicarinatus Lee., also Elater binus Say.; the latter may, how- ever, constitute a new genus, as the joints of the anteunai are carinate on the middle of the broad surface.
