Globiceps fulyipes (Saund., Synops., ii, p. 279, 2). Concerning 

 G.fulvipes, Scop., Mr. Saunders says, I. c, "A very doubtful species," 

 and he describes it only by tbe following lines : " Extremely like the 

 preceding (Havo^naculatus), hwi smaller, and with the basal spot of the 

 elytra truncate posteriorly, and not produced along the lateral margin." 

 I, however, think that G. fiiJvipes is a very good species, and perfectly 

 different from G. Jlavomnculatus. The latter lives not uncommonly 

 among grass, and especially on nettles, &c. ; but fuJvipes is a scarcer 

 species, exclusively occurring on small Snlices, especially on S. repens 

 and rosmarinifoUa, and also on Sefula nana. Moreover, the larva and 

 nymph of the two species have a different colour, and are more dis- 

 similar than the imagines {vide Revisio crit. Capsin., pp. 118, 119). 

 The following characters are sufiBcient to separate /"MZyzijoes from^«t'0-

Maceocoleus sordidus (Cat., 38, 4), and Oncottlus punctipes 

 (Cat., 38, 2). Mr. Douglas has kindly communicated a specimen of 

 his M. sordidus (Ent. Mo. Mag., iv, 49), and also of his Oncofyhis 

 tanaceti, in Brit. Hem., i, 394, 2, which latter in the Catalogue is 

 further erroneously named O. punctipes. Examining these specimens 

 I have found that both are only the ? of Tinicephalus Iwrtulanus, 

 Mey., a species not cited in the Catalogue of Messrs. Douglas and 

 Scott, but described by Mr. Saunders as Macrocoleus Iwrtulanus 

 (Synops., p. 296). 1 can therefore confirm the synonymy given by
