from which it differs in its coarser punctuation, in the third joint of its antennae 

 being shorter and narrower than the fourth, in its smaller and narrower thorax, and 

 shorter tarsi. Found at Braemar by Dr. Sharp and Dr. Buchanan White, and by 

 Mr. Champion at Aviemore (Ent. Mo. Mag., viii, 74 ; xi, 63). 



Anthicus scoticus, Rye. 



This is the Anthicus originally named by Du Val as A. Jlavipes, Panz. ; 

 the much finer punctuation of A. flavipes, however, is sufficient to separate it from 

 this insect, although it is closely allied to it. Mr. Rye has, therefore, made it a new 

 species. It comes nearest to A. angustatus, Curt., of our recorded species, but differs 

 from it in its shorter and stouter antennae, larger size, broader build, darker limbs, 

 broader and shorter thorax, and much broader elytra. It is the Anthicus 6, sp. nov., 

 of Waterhouse's catalogue. Found by Dr. Syme and Mr. E. A. Waterhouse in some 

 numbers on the banks of Loch Leven (Ent. Mo. Mag., ix, 10). 



Meloe cyaneus, Mula. 



This is probably only a variety of M. proscarabmus, L. Mr. Eye referred seve- 

 ral specimens of Meloe taken in the Isle of Man and near Barnstaple to Mulsant's 

 insect, but came to the conclusion that the latter is itself only a variety (Ent. Mo. 

 Mag., viii, 248, 288). 



Anaspis tariegata, Power. 



This insect, of which Dr. Power possesses a long series taken in the south of 

 England, comes near A. frontalis, L., but may easily be separated from that insect 

 by the light colour of its legs, and its more shining appearance. 



Anaspis monilicornis, Muls. 



Mr. Crotch includes this insect in his catalogue with a query, stating that it has 

 the colouring of A. rujllabris, but with no ventral appendages in the male, and the 

 first joint of the anterior tarsi equal to the second, whilst in rvjilabris it is much 

 shorter. Dr. Power possesses a specimen in his collection, and, on his authority, we 

 have again introduced it.

A correction. — On the last page of the April number of this magazine, in the 

 report of the proceedings of the Entomological Society, Mr. Billups is reported to 

 have exliibited two ichneumons, viz.: Hemiteles fasciatiis and PhcBocerus homo' 

 chlorus ; the first of these names was only MS., and has been altered to inci.tus, at 

 present also MS. ; the other species should have been I'haogenes homochlorus,
