Seite 507 - ... epimera transverse, acute at the outer end, and intervening between the humeral part of the elytra and the base of the prothorax. The anterior part of the last dorsal segment of the abdomen is channelled for the reception of the sutural edge of the elytra, almost as in Anthribidae.
Seite 535 - Boston, has prepared the following list of bibliographical references • to memoirs iu which more or less complete synopses of the families, genera, and species of the Coleoptera of the United States have been published. Though many of these synopses are quite old, and require remodelling by the aid of our increased experience and larger collections, they are the best now accessible, and this systematic list of them will greatly facilitate the determination of the described species.

Seite 202 - ... sub-family, fourth joint more or less bilobed; claws variable in form. Insects of moderate, or small size, of elongate form, and soft consistence, found on plants. Many of the species of the second tribe of the first sub-family possess the remarkable power of emitting light, and are hence called fireflies.
Seite xv - Antenna; are called geniculate. when the second joint is affixed so as to make an angle with the first; the following joints continuing in the line of the second. In this form the first or basal joint is usually much longer, and is called the scape. When the geniculate form is at the same time capitate, the joints intermediate between the scape and clnb are called the funicle.
Seite 255 - Er., the characters of which are very indefinitely made known ; but, from the difference of locality, the two genera cannot be supposed to be identical. The only character by which this sub-tribe is distinguished from the preceding is that the ventral segments are not connate, and the prothorax margined at apex with membrane.
Seite 195 - ... is always divided, so that the cavity for the reception of the prosternum is formed both by the meso- and metasternum ; the side pieces of the latter are always visible, and the epimera are triangular, with the hind margin sometimes straight, and applied to the coxae, sometimes partly covered by the prolongation of the abdomen, which intervenes between the coxa?
Seite 528 - ... are inserted under the sides of the beak, and that the prothoracic ridge is quite basal, causing the surface behind it to become perpendicular; it consequently attains the hind angles, and is there flexed forwards, not obliquely and at an obtuse angle, but rectangularly. As a farther consequence of this arrangement, the basal margin of the elytra is acute. Our species represent but three groups : Beak with parallel or nearly parallel sides X.
Seite 469 - Pistodes; tarsi with third joint dilated, spongy beneath ; claws simple, divergent. The species are of moderate size, never very small, and are sub-cortical in their habits ; they mostly infest coniferous trees. This tribe leads directly to the Erirhinini, from which they differ chiefly by the less delicately organized mouth, and generally stronger and coarser structure, and by the double edge or corbel to the terminal margin of the hind tibiae.
Seite 477 - Antenna; with scape extending to the eyes, funicle 7-jointed, first joint stouter and longer, second nearly as long as the first, 3-6 rounded, seventh transverse, rounded; club rather small, oval, annulated, pubescent. Prothorax oval, longer than wide, rounded on the sides, not constricted nor lobed in front. Elytra oval, a little wider than the prothorax, humeri rounded, not prominent, base feebly emarginate. Prosternum rather long in front of the...
