Gdulotrwpis. P. spadix (Herbst), is the type of Codiosoma, Bedel ; P. 

 csneopiceus, Boh., has been referred to Caulotrupis, Woll. ; P. apion- 

 oides, Horn, from Pennsylvania, will probably have to form the type of 

 a new genus, as has been already noted by Colonel Casey ; and P. 

 minor, Horn, from the eastern United States, no doubt belongs to 

 Hhyncolus. Codiosoma spadix, Herbst (= sculptus, Gyll., sulcipennis, 

 Woll., &c.), the larva of which (with that of Nacerdes melanura) has 

 been figured and described by Fokker [(Tijdschr. voor Ent. xxxii, pp. 

 418-422, t. 2, figs. 6, 7 (18S9)], attacks old posts on the sea-shore * ; 

 it has been recorded from various parts of Europe, N. Africa, Madeira, 

 the United States, &c. Mr. Wickham has recently sent me a specimen 

 of it from Newport News, Va., and Mr. J. J. Walker met with it at 

 Fremantle, W. Australia, in Nov., 1890. Bedel (Faune Col. Bass. 

 Seine, vi, p. 194) differentiates Caulotrupis by the exposed metathoracic 

 episterna, but this character, conspicuous enough in C. ceneopiceus, will 

 not apply to all the species referred to that genus by Wollaston. 



OJigopus, type O. pellitus, Kirsch (Deutsche ent. Zeitschr, 1875, 

 p. 279, from Peru, described as a Cossonid, is (as I have already 

 noted elsewhere) a Barid, related to the S. American Pithecomus, 

 Pasc. 



OnychoUps hifurcatus, Woll., the types of which were from the 

 Canary Ts. (Fuerteventura and Grand Canary), has recently been 

 recorded by Escalera 1rom JNIogador and Cape Juby \jof. Bol. Soc. 

 Esp. Hist. Nat. viii, p. 242, (1898)] 



Ralorhynclius ccBcus, Woll. — Mr. J. J. Walker has taken this 

 species at E. Wallaby Island, in the Hoiitman's Abrolhos, as well as 

 at Fremantle, W. Australia. The type was from the last mentioned 

 locality. 



Pacliytrogus crassirostris, Woll.— Mr. Walker found this species 

 in considerable numbers in a partially decayed tree in the Island of 

 Juan Fernandez, in March, 1882. The type, which I have seen, was 

 stated to be from " Chile." 



Pentarthrum apicale, Broun. — Mr. Walker also captured three 

 females of this remarkable species at Juan Fernandez. The types 

 were from New Zealand, whence he has also sent me specimens. The 

 rostrum differs greatly in form in the two sexes, that of the ? being 

 almost smooth, cylindrical and abruptly porrect, the antennae in this 

 sex, too, being inserted near the base. 



Pentarthrum huttoni^ Woll. {antea, p. 104). — Mr. Joy reminds 



* I had the pleasure of seehig it aUve again last month, in Sheppey.
