ON THE BirllTISH SPECIES OF DRY OPS. 

 BY 1). SHARP, Al.A., IMi.S. 



The following remarks on (jur species of Parnus (now called 

 Drijops) may be found useful as an addition to Fowler's Coleopt. 

 Brit. Isls., vol vi, pp. lo-i-136. They are suggested by Signor Dodero's 

 study of the European forms (Ann. Mus. Genova, xlviii, 1918, pp. 101- 

 120, pi. ii). A series of oui- British species was sent by Mr. Champion 

 and myself to Signor Dodero, and as Dodero refers to these specimens 

 we have the certainty of what we are to understand from his study, 

 lie is one of the most competent and careful of the students of Micro- 

 Coleoptera, and it is veiw satisfactory to lind tliat his conclusions are 

 quite the same as regards our British species as those 1 liad previously 

 i-eached. It is desii'ablc to emphasise this, as Fowler's remarks might 

 give rise to the idea that t)ur species arc very doubtful.
