26 THE ENTOMOLOGIST S RECORD. 



Harwood in an osier bed at Colchester, and was introduced by Mr. 

 Champion (loc. cit., p. 225), who says it is alHed to C. nujrita, Man. 



Fhilnnthns concijinus, Grav. — Dr. Joy points out {loc. cit., p. 51) 

 that most of the specimens standing in our collections under the name 

 of ebeniniis, Grav., are the above species, which is a much smaller 

 insect, and has the penultimate joint of the antennae more transverse. 

 I have taken true cuucinuio^ at Sandown, Isle of Wight. 



OlojJinoii assiiiiile, Pk. — This species was taken in numbers in 

 flood-refuse on the banks of the Spey, near Nethy Bridge, by Mr. 

 Donisthorpe and the writer, last September (7':»f. Record, xx., p. 255). 



Claiiihtis pimctulinn, Beck.^Mr. Donisthorpe {loc. cit., p. 293) 

 introduces this species again to our list on specimens taken by evening 

 sweeping at Chattenden ; it is separable from viinutus, Stm., by the 

 form of the antennal joints, and its size. 



Anisotoma jiavicornis, Ch. — This species has been confused with 

 parvula, Sahl.' Dr. Joy {Ent. Mo. Ma(j., p. 174) pointed out the 

 difference, and stated that he had taken it at Bradfield. Mr. Champion 

 later {loc. cit., p. 206) gave a number of localities in which he had 

 found it. 



Colon zehei, Kr. — This is considered a genuine species by Ganglbauer, 

 and Dr. Joy {loc cit., p. 38) says that it differs from deutipes, Sahl., of 

 which it has been treated as a variety only, in shape, punctuation, and 

 pubescence. 



Fiqdectus bescidicioi, Reitt. — Dr. Joy introduces {Ent. liecord, xx., 

 p. 56) this species on specimens taken under bark at Enfield by Mr. 

 Pool ; there are specimens in the Bates' collection taken by Lawson at 

 Scarborough. 



Corticuria linearis, Payk. ; C. eppelsheinii, Reitt. ; C. lonc/icollis, 

 Zett. — In an interesting article on the genus, in which he gives a 

 valuable table. Dr. Joy states that all these three species must be 

 introduced to our list. Canon Fowler {Brit. Col., vol. iii., p. 292) 

 expressed the opinion that linearis and lon(/icollis had been taken in this 

 country, and Dr. Joy gives localities for all three. Dr. Joy expresses 

 the opinion that he has been unable to find any authentic British 

 specimens of (,'. ohscura, Bris., and that, therefore, that species must 

 disappear from our list {Ent. Mo. Ma(j., xliv., p. 125). 



Melanopthahna truncatella, Man. — Introduced by Dr. Joy {Ent. 

 Record, xx., p. 91) on specimens taken in Norfolk; it is entirely 

 testaceous. 



Criiptophaijus Ivrendali, Gangl. — This species, which is treated by 

 Ganglbauer and by Lovendal as a variety of pubescens, Stm., has been 

 taken in the New Forest by Mr. Champion {E?it. Mo. Ma<i., xliv., p. 

 123), and he is of opinion that it is a perfectly distinct species, 

 separable from pubescens by its three jointed-club. 



Cryptophai/iis liirtidiis, Kr. — Taken by Dr. Joy {loc. cit., p. 178) in 

 the Scilly Islands, on a cellar window, and under haystack refuse. Mr. 

 Newbery has a specimen taken years ago in a house at Merton. 



Micranibe villosa, Heer {=pilosula, Heer). This species, treated by 

 Ganglbauer as a variety, by Capt. Deville as a species, is introduced 

 by Mr. Newbery {loc. cit., p. 105) ; it appears to differ from vini, Pz., 

 a beetle which occurs all over the country in countless profusion on 

 gorse, etc., only in the fact that it is a trifle larger, and has some 

 longer upright hairs mixed with the decumbent pubescence. To create
