1 This name was applied by Dr Sharp (E. M. M., xlvi., p. 250) to the 

 species which had been known in British collections as sinuatus. Mots. 

 Sinuatus, Mots, was considered synonymous with nigriceps, Th., which was 

 recorded by Dr Sharp in his Coleoptera of Scotland ; but the two species are 

 distinct, so ytenensis, Shp. (sinuatus, Mots.) is an addition to the Scottish list. 



2 In view of the separation of this species from ytenensis, Shp. (sinuatus, Mots.)> 

 I have given the Scotch records since the separation was made.
