RETROSPECT OK A COLEOPTERIST FOR VMK 3 



/','. kimzei, Aube, and /•-'. ilitjioitti, Aube {Inc. rit., p. 74), Mr. Champioa 

 showed that all our specimens standing under the name ki(n:^ei were 

 really anheaniis. Roitt., and this name must, therefore, be added to our 

 list. The name kiinzei, or rather hritnnei(fi, Grimmer, of which 

 kimzci is only a synonym, remains in our list, because some of the 

 specimens hitherto called dupnnti have been incorrectly determined ; 

 they are bninnens, Grimmer. 



Micropeplus caelatiix, Erics. — Introduced by Dr. Joy and Mr. 

 Tomlin {lor. rit., p. 149) on specimens taken at Cloghane, Co. Kerry, in 

 April, 1909. It is most nearly allied to M. porcatns, Payk. 



llioliifi {Elmis) sndalis, Er. — Introduced by Mr. J. Edwards {Inc. cit., 

 p. 76) on a specimen taken at Christow, Devon, bj^ Mr. Champion; Mr. 

 Edwards gave a tabic for separating our four species of this sub- 

 genus. 



Parnas (jriseiis, Er. — Introduced by Dr. Sharp {lur. cit., p. 123), 

 who stated that he considered that we had now seven indigenous 

 species of this genus. 



ParniiK (Dn/ops) ait'ilicanus:, sp. n.— Described by Mr. J. Edwards 

 {loc. cit., p. 218) oa specimens taken at Horning in May, 1888, and 

 again in 1909. IMr. Edwards gave a drawing of the vertical aspect of 

 the oedeagus to show the difference between it and that of auricnlatus, 

 Fourc. 



Aphoflins iiii/cr, Panz. — Dr. Sharp reinstated this species in the 

 British list {l<>c. cit., p. 129) on the strength of a specimen taken at 

 Brockenhurst, and Mr. Champion has since that date taken the species 

 freely at the same locality. In discussing the previous records of this 

 species as a British insect, Dr. Sharp expressed the opinion that they 

 were all erroneous ; he also stated that he had two specimens, one 

 taken at Deal, and one in the New Forest, which did not agree with 

 niiier, Panz., or with the immaculate ab. of plai/iattts. 



Melaunfi/tila acniiiinata, De G. — Introduced by Mr. Chiimpion [luc. 

 cit., p. 247) on specimens taken in the pine-woods near Woking, in 

 August and September, 1909 ; this fine Buprestid is a most unlooked- 

 for addition to our list, and the most interesting of the year's captures. 

 Mr. Champion gave an account of all the beetles he had taken in these 

 pine-woods, including such insects as Criocephalm ferns, Muls., and 

 Anc/ioineniis (ji(a(lripi(nctat)(s, De G. 



(Jhaetncnenia arida, Foud. — Introduced by Mr. Donisthorpe [Ent. 

 Uecord, xxi., p. 259) on specimens taken in the Whitefield Woods, 

 Ryde, Isle of Wight, on August 2Gth, 1909. The species comes near 

 to hortennis, Geof., but has a narrower thorax, and thorax and head are 

 more finely punctured. 



Piabocerna [Salpinaus) bisjinpi, sp. n.— Described by Dr. Sharp (Eut. 

 Mo. Maff., xlv., p. 246) from specimens taken at Grantown, Speyside, 

 by himself and Mr. T. G. Bishop. 



In the same article. Dr. Sharp described another European species 

 new to science, R. championi, from specimens taken in Switzerland by 

 Mr. Champion. 



Anaapis hudsoni, sp. n. — Described by Mr. Donisthorpe {Ent. 

 Record, xxi., p. 60) from a specimen found at Netby Bridge in the 

 centre of a hard, woody fungus, on Scots fir, on September 16th, 

 1908. The article is illustrated by a plate showing the male append- 

 ages of the whole of the British species of the genus.
