The anterior tibiae are not dilated, and not spinous at the tip. The anterior tarsi have three moderately dilated joints, with squamiforra papilla) beneath; the elytra are broadly truncate at tip, and shorter than the abdomen. The head is behind, forming a neck. The species are hairy and densely punctured insects, found under bark and stones. Galerita, Thalpius, and Diaphorus are found on both sides of the continent; Zuphium, thus far, only in the southern province of the Atlantic district. The species of Galerita have red thorax and blue or black elytra. Neck slender; Antennae setaceons. Galekita. Antennse filiform. Zuphidm. Neck large. Antennae filiform; third joint shorter than the fourth ; tliorax truncate at base. DiAnionrs. AntenniB more or less moniliform; joints 2â4 equal; tliorax suljpedun- culate. TuALPics. This tribe commences a series so closely allied as to be with difficulty defined. The essential characters of this tribe, however, are given above, and the combination of them will enable its mem- bers to be recognized, although individually the same characters reappear in other tribes. iljiiiji 1 i 1' . i Tribe VI.âODACAMTHIIVI. The ligula with distinct paraglossa), free at the apex; the an- tenna; are filiform, sometimes with three basal joints nearly glabrous, sometimes with only one; the first joint is more elongated than usual, but less so than in the preceding tribe. The palpi are acute at the apex. Head constricted behind into a neck, which, however, disappears in some foreign genera. The anter
