To these Latreille added Dimera, having two joints to all the tarsi, and
Monomera, having but a single tarsal joint in each foot. Some of these divisions are now known to have rested on imperfect observations, and all are subject to exceptions among closely allied species; hence the tarsal system has been generally abandoned or modified, though in many respects it approached a natural classification, and, admitting the exceptions, the divisions can still be used with advantage. Its convenience is such that attempts have also been made to retain it, in its general features, with substitution of other names intended to correct the early imperfect observations, as Cryptopentamera, Pseudotetramera, Subpentamera, etc.; and the adjectives derived from all these terms, as pentamerous, heteromerous, etc., are regularly used in describing beetles and their tarsi.
