0»i various Bledii recently added to the British, List. — The following notes 

 by M. Bondroit [Ann. Soc. Ent. Belg., LVII, pp. 297, 298 (Oct. 1913)] on 

 certain JBJedw recently added to our list by Dr. Sharp (Ent. Mo. Mag., 1911, 

 1913) will interest British Coleopterists : — B. rampi, Bondr. (1907) =^ B. tere- 

 brans, Schiodte (1866). The latter name is rejected on account of Schiodtc's 

 description having been written in Danisli I B. defensus, Fauv. (1870) =^ B. 

 gulielmi, Sharp (1913). The type of the latter has been examined by M. Bon- 

 droit, but he does not state whether he has seen that of Fauvel. B. Isetior, 

 Rey (1877) = B./rodicornis, Payk. M. Bondroit states that these two forms 

 cannot be maintained as distinct. According to him the large dark examples 

 generally have the hind angles of the prothorax )nore roimded than the 

 smaller individuals with reddish elytra, but this character is said to be in- 

 constant and of no specific value. B. diota, Schiodte (1866). M. Bondroit is 

 of opinion that this insect is not synonymous with B. hinnulus, Er., as suggested 

 by Dr. Sharp. He says that the latter may be known by its smaller size, more 

 convex prothorax, longer elytra, &c. He gives as localities for B. diota, 

 Denmark, Great Britain, France, Italy, Algeria, and Tunisia. B. hinnulus was 

 from Russia. — G. C. Champion, Horsell, Woking : October Uth, 1913. 



Rhizophagus oblongocollis. Blotch and Horner : synonymical note. — In a 

 paper on the synonymy of various species of Rhizophagus, M. A. Mequignon 

 (Bull. Soc. Ent. Fr., 1913, p. 3-43) states that R. oblongocollis, Blatch and Horner 

 [Ent. Mo. Mag., XXVIII, p. 303 (1892)], from England, = B. simplex, Reitter 

 [Wien. ent. Zeit., Ill, p. 271 (1884)], the type of which was from Japan. The 

 latter is now in the collection of M. Grouvelle in Paris. — G. C. Champion. 



Coleoptera from British Honduras. — My friend Mr. A. E. Gibbs, of St. Albans, 

 has recently handed over to me for determination various interesting Coleoptera 

 received from his correspondent Dr. F. C. Davis, of Belize. Tliere is nothing 

 new amongst these insects, nevertheless a number of the species have not 

 been noticed from British Honduras in the " Biologia," and are therefore worth 

 recording. The additions are marked with an asterisk.
