In a few instances tihiiii and tarsal eharai'ters distinguish the sexes, mnl ill many species of Tclriihorux t'ne ungues are quite difl'erent. We have excluded the singular genus Omvlhrs from this snii- family. It is prohahly not a Lampyride, but where it may he nuitai)ly placed we do not know. Two tribes may be recognized in our fauna:â Mt'iitniii very Jour, widi-r in I'loiit. riiAi' Mciituin sninll, quiulriite. Tblbi', '}t a : 'â¢â .â \l VI-^ J Tril).> I.âC'IIAl-MO«!VATIIi:VI. This tribe consists of liut one genus represented in our fanim by a moderate numl)er of sjw'cies. They are much more imiiicr- ous in tropical America, but so far as I am aware do not (mciii in other countries. Chauliognathus diflers from all others in dnr fauna not only by the elongated head, and singular strurture nl the maxilhiry lobe, which has a long extensile and contractile fleshy filament, but also by the peculiar arrangement of the iiinicr surface of the prothorax, and the sexual characters oi the %.
