Cryptophagus grandis, Kr. 



This species is apparently synonymous with C. populi, Payk, and, therefore, 

 must be omitted. 



Cetptophagus pakallelus, Bris. 



This species comes close to small examples of C. dentatus, Herbst., but cannot 

 be confounded with any other member of the genus by reason of its narrow, elon- 

 gate, and parallel form. Taken in Scotch fir by Dr. Sharp and Mr. Eye, at Eannoch 

 (Ent. Mo. Mag., yiii, 158). 



Cryptophagus TFaterhousei, Rye. 



This species is only a large and peculiar form of C. acutangulus, Gyll., and must, 

 therefore, be omitted. 



Atomaeia badia, Er. 



Allied to A. elongatula, Er., but is rufo-ferruginous in colour, with a transverse 

 impression at the base of the thorax, and broader, and somewhat more strongly 

 punctured elytra (Ent. Mo. Mag., viii, 74). 



Atomaeia atea, Herbst. 



Allied to A.fuscata, but is darker, with a longer, more convex, and more laterally 

 rounded thorax, and stronger punctuation on the elytra, which are more acuminate 

 behind in outline (Ent. Mo. Mag., viii, 135). 



Atomaeia divisa, Rye. 



This rests as a species on a single specimen in Mr. Eye's collection with no 



locality. It is a very distinct species, nearer A. nigripennis than anything else in 



our lists, but differing from that insect in its shorter and more convex build, longer 



thorax, with a scarcely visible basal transverse depression, &c. (Ent. Mo. Mag., xii, 



178).

The Yorkshire Catalogue of Lepidoptera. — For some years, Mr. Q-. T. Porritt, 

 F.L.S., of Huddersfield, assisted by the leading entomologists of Yorkshire, has been 

 engaged upon a catalogue of the lepidopterous fauna of that county. The work 

 has now been completed, and is to appear in the " Transactions of the Yorksliire 

 Naturalists' Union," and the MS. has been placed in the printers' hands by the 

 secretaries of that body. The list is very complete — probably, the best county list 

 ever yet published, — and includes about two-thirds of the British species, that is, 

 1344 out of 2031. Full attention has been paid to the somewhat voluminous litera- 

 ture of the subject, as well as to information contributed by correspondents, the 

 result being a very satisfactory summary of what is at present known. — Wm. Deni-
