EE-AERANGEMENT OF THE BAGOINI. 



PEELIMINAEY LIST OF THE BEITISH MEMBEES. 



BY D. SHARP, M.A., F.R.S. 



The Bagoini are a reproach to Coleopterists ; there being but little 

 agreement as to genera, species and nomenclature. Probably one of 

 the causes of this is that the group is compounded of two distinct 

 tribes. These I propose to distinguish as Bagoini and Pseudobagoini. 

 After this separation is effected the British forms become easily 

 distinguished, except in the case of a few that are really very close. 



Trib. Pseudobagoini (nov.). 



Hydronomus alismatis. 



Ahagous (gen. n.), sp. n., two spp. standing as glahrirostris and lutidentus 



Gyll. 

 Parahagous {gen. n.), frit Schonli. and sp. n. 



Trib. Bagoini. 



Probagous (gen. n.) Ii^casleri Newb., cnemerythrus Marsh., and convexicollis 



Boh. 

 Lyprus cxjlindrus. 



Bagous nodulosus, limosus, mundanus, brevis, lutulosus. 

 Elniidomorphus aubei. 



There are three species in our catalogue which are not represented 

 in my collection, so that I cannot at present say anything about them, 

 viz., binodulus, diglyptus, lutosus. 



I may add that I have in preparation a paper on the subject, and 

 that I shall be very glad of information, and should like to see 

 additional specimens, which I will, if desired, name no far as I can. 

 The type of the tribe Pseudobagoini is the S. African genus Pseudo- 

 bag ous (nov.) founded on P. junodi sp. n. (= Bagous longulus pars 

 auctt) .

PHALONIA MANNIANA AND ITS ALLIES. 

 BY E. MEYRICK, B.A., F.R.S. 



Dr. Kennel, in his '* Palaearktischen Tortriciden," p. 276, has sunk 

 notulana as a synonym of manniana, apparently with the tacit appro- 

 bation of Lord Walsingham, as he bases his conclusion as to their 

 identity on the examination of one of Zeller's original type- specimens
