uio that he has also recorded this insect from Bradfield, Berks., as 

 having been found in dry rotten wood in a wine cellar [cf. Ent. Mo. 

 Ma<r. xlii, p. 40 (1906)]. Mr. B. G. Kye has taken it in some numbers 

 under similar conditions in a cellar in Shoe Lane, London. 



Drijotribus, Horn (= Thalatfodora, Perkins).— Since the pub- 

 lication of my note on this genus, anfea, p. 103, I have detected four 

 specimens of a Dryotribus amongst Mr, Walker's "Penguin" cap- 

 tures, three from Adele Island, N.W.Australia, and one from Nyew-tew 

 Island, China. These examples are a little larger than D. mimeticus, 

 Horn, but otherwise agree with it. The Australian representatives 

 were found under drift-wood on a sandy beach 



Sfenotrupis exilis, Pasc. — The male of this insect {of. antea, p. 

 104) belongs to Coptus, Woll., and is probably a fully-developed 

 C. minor. The specific name exilis can be retained for the female. 

 The genus Dioedimorpha, Broun, from New Zealand, will probably 

 prove to be inseparable from Stenotrupis. 



Haloxenus, Perkins (1900), type H. immigrans. Perk., found 

 under drift wood on the coast of the Hawaiian Is. at Molokai and 

 Lanai = Macrancylus, Lee. (1876), type M. linearis, Lee, from the 

 sea shore at Haulover, Florida. Specimens of both insects are 

 contained in the British Museum. The genus approaches Eutornus, 

 Woll. 



Pach^stylus dimidiatus, Woll. — The types of this species are 

 labelled as from the Island of Juan Fernandez. Wollaston simply 

 gave " Chile." Mr. AValker does not appear to have met with it when 

 he visited the locality in 1882. 



Thaumastophasis oculatus, Woll. — This genus cannot possibly be 

 included under the Cossonidse, though I am not at present prepared 

 to suggest a definite location for it. The type was from Gawler, 

 Australia.

THE BRITISH SPECIES OF FARNUS. 

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



The note published by Mr. Edwards last year (Ent. Mo. Mag., 



1908, p. 102) incited me to pay special attention to this genus, and as 



result I find we have more species than has been hitherto supposed.
