Cuvier's animal kingdom : arranged according to its organization cuviersanimalkin00cuvi Year: 1840 546 INSECTA. nearly equals half of that of the elytra, sometimes smooth, semiorbicular, with a single tooth at the posterior angles, sometimes very unequal and tubercular ; the prosternum is either carinated or terminated in a point, either flat, truncated, entire, or notched at its posterior extremity, which is applied to a produced lobe of the meso- sternura ; the fore-legs at least are wide apart at the base. The scutellum is large iu some, the tarsi short and dilated. Lissonoius, Dalm. (with the antennœ greatly compressed and serrated, or semi-pectinated and long), and Megaderus, Dej. (with simple antennae, shorter than the body), form a first division, having the thorax nearly semi-orbicular and very large, with a single tooth on each side at the hind angles, and the scutellum very large. Those with the thorax very rough and multidentate, the antennae long, simple, or slightly spined, and the thorax very large, form four subgenera. DorcafecM, Dej., having the head vertical, large, and nearly as broad as the thorax, and the scutellum small. Type, Cerambyx barbatus, Oliv. TVacyrfere, Dalm., with the thorax large and much broader than the head; the posterior extremity of the prosternum, and also the opposite part of the mesosternum, elevated and keeled. Lophonoceriis, Latr., has the head much narrower than the thorax, and with the third and three following joints of the antennae furnished with hairs. Cerambyx barbicornis, Oliv., &c. Ctenodes, Klug, differs from the preceding in having the antennae much shorter than the body, and pectinated or serrated ; the thorax toothed at the sides. (Ctenodeszonata, &c.) In the following the thorax, either square or cylindrical, orbicular, or nearly globular, is much shorter than the elytra ; the prosternum is neither carinated nor pointed at its posterior extremi
