was also stated that leucostigtna ^ was apparently not an Apamea, 

 and that Luperina van nickerlii of South was not Freyer's insect of 

 that name. 

 Opsibotys is proposed as a new generic name for Lederer's first division 

 of Bot)s (type O. fuscalis, Schiff.), by W. Warren, Ann. Mag. 

 N.H., Dec , p. 474. Botys disappears from among the Pyrales 

 altogether, the original type of that genus being the Lythria 

 pitrpuraria of modern authors. 



COLEOPTERA. 



Canon Fowler's Coleoptera of the British Islands is a work which will of 

 necessity be consulted by all those interested in our beetles, so 

 that any account of its contents or detailed enumeration of the 

 changes from the older works becomes almost superfluous. In 

 vol. iv. we are glad to see the generic name Longitarsus adopted, 

 as its validity has long been recognised in other countries. Under 

 L. jacobacB is described a new var. rufescens. On p. 304 

 Chrysomela staphylea is described with a new var, sharpi from the 

 Solway district.

This important paper contains a synopsis of the genera and a 

 list of the species of European sawflies. There are also descrip- 

 tions of many new genera, which it is to be hoped will prove more 

 satisfactory than some sawfly "genera" have done in the past. 

 The changes in the names of our British species are many. 

 Cimbex silvarian, F., appears as C. feffiorata, L. Hylotoma, Latr., 

 becomes Arge^ Schrank. Euitra, Cam., becomes Cryptocampus, 

 Htg. On the other hand, Sirex, L.. is used instead of Urocerus, 

 Geoff., as is usual in this country and contrary to the custom in 

 America. The new genera include the following : — 

 Amauronemattis n. g. with glenelgensis Cam,, hiimeralis Zett., 



arcticus Thorns,, etc. 

 Pachynetnatus n. g. for einersbergensis Htg,, etc. 

 Lygceonematus n. g. for ambiguiis Fall., scoticiis Cam., etc. 

 Micronetnatus n. g. for hibeniicus Cam,, and abbrcviatus Htg. 

 Eriocampoides n. g. for testaceipes Cam., and cinxia Klg.
