Mr. A. Murray's Monograph of the genus Catops. 465 



Catops pallidus=veloXj Spence. Represented by a single bad 

 specimen. -^ 



luridus=scitulm, Erichs. ^"^^^^^ 



The first specimens are scitulus, then follow some otvelox, 

 and lastly what may be brunneus, Sturm. 



flavescens—prcecoXy Erichs. 



minutus=^anisotomoides, Spence. 



The remainder of his species are different species of Colony 

 and do not fall within this Monograph. 



On looking over the preceding parts of this paper, I am not 

 satisfied with the figure given of C. nigrita (fig. 12), and would 

 beg the reader instead of it to adopt the figure I now give, as a 

 more accurate representation of the species. 



A figure of transverso-striatus S was omitted to be given with 

 the text. It is now supplied.

I have only now to add the Dichotomous Table of the European 

 species which I promised at the commencement of this paper. 

 It is not to be understood as a substitute for the descriptions, 

 but merely as a slight aid in turning to the quarter where the 

 species are likely to be found.
