OrcJiestes decor atiis, Germ. 



This very doubtful species is included in the second edition of Dr. Sharp's 

 catalogue : it has for many years been alternately inserted in and erased from the 

 British List. In Ent. Ann., 1867, 88, Mr. Eye quotes Mr. Walton as having shown 

 that Stephens' 0. decoratus is only 0. rusci, and it is to Stephens that M. Brisout 

 refers for the type-form of the insect. 



Nanophtes gracilis, Eedt. 



This insect is readily distinguished from X. lythri, F., by the fact that all its 

 femora have two small sharp spines on the under-side ; it has longer and thinner 

 legs, antennae, and rostrum, less evident pubescence, and broader and much less 

 acuminate elytra, of whic-h the interstices are flat (Ent. Mo. Mag., is, 157). Taken 

 in the New Forest and other localities. 



Ceutliorrhynchus crassidentahis, Marshall ?. 



This insect must be erased from the British list : nothing seems to be known 

 about it. 



Ceuthorrliijnclius viridipennis, Bris. 



This insect comes near C. chalyhtBus. Dr. Sharp told me that he possessed a 

 short series of an insect that he believed to be this species, but he has omitted it 

 from the second edition of his catalogue. 



Ceufhorrhi/ncJiidiiis minimus, AValton (Rye). 



A very doubtful species, near C. floralis, apparently resting on two examples 

 supposed to have been placed by Dr. Leach in the British Museum collection, where, 

 however, they are not now to be found. 



Ceuthorrhynchidius Ohevrolati, Bris. 



This species is apparently only a well-marked and fresh type of C troglodytes, 

 F. Dr. Sharp, however, introduces a new species into the second edition of his 

 catalogue under this name. 



Ceuthorehtk^chidius Crotchi, Bris. 



This insect, which has not been particularly recorded as British, but is described 

 by M. Charles Brisout as from England only, is said to be very like C. versicolor, 

 Bris., but may be distinguished by its more depressed prothorax, of which the an- 

 terior margin is less reflexed, and by its testaceous tarsi, of which the claws are 

 smaller (Ent. Mo. Mag., ix, 159). It is a doubtful species, apparently, as British. 



Cossonus linearis, L. 



It is probable that all our insects which stand under this name are in reality to 

 be referred to C.ferrugineus, Clairv., and that C linearis may not be British at all 

 (Ent.. Mo. Mag., ix, 243 ; Ann., 1874, 109). 



Magdalinus Heydeni, Desbr. 



The author of this species mentions it as British in his Monogi'aph of the genus,
