List of generic names used in Scolytidae. — Under the title "List of generic 

 names and their type-species in the Coleopterovis super-family Scolytoidea/' 

 Mr. A. D. Hopkins (Proc. U. S. Nat. Museum, vol. 48, pp. 115-136, Dec, 1914) 

 gives a complete enumeration of all the names hitherto used for the genera of 

 this group of beetles, numbering 212 in all, including synonyms. The list, 

 which is alphabetically arranged, shows : 1 , generic names ; 2, the author ; 

 3, the original reference ; 4, the type-species, the author of the species, and, if 

 not monobasic, the authority for the designation ; 5, the locality or country 

 from which the type is described. If neither monobasic nor designated, the 

 type is selected by the author of this list. Emendations are treated as other 

 genera. So far as the British genera are concerned, the only changes would be 

 that Myelophilus Eichh. becomes Tomicus Latr., type Dcrmestes piniperda L., 

 and Tomicus Latr. ^ Ips De Geer, type Dermestes typographus L. — Eds. 



Oxyomus porcatus F., in Scotland. — I swept up a fine specimen of this 

 species in Craigentinny Meadows, near Edinburgh, on May 9th, 1908. At the 

 time I noted that Canon Fowler stated that the species had not been captured 

 in the North of England or Scotland, but I omitted to record the above capture. 

 As the species is not included in Mr. Fergusson's recently published " Supplement 

 to Dr. Sharp's Coleoptera of Scotland," I think it is desirable to publish this 

 note. -T. Hudson Beare, 10, Eegent Terrace, Edinburgh : January 11th, 1915 



Homonotus sanguinolentus F., in Surrey ; a correction— In the two notes on 

 the capture of this species in Surrey (Ent. Mo. Mag., 1914, pp. 270, 290), a 

 previous record of the capture of a ^ by Mr. C. H. Mortimer {op. cit., 1907, 

 p. 211) at Holmwood was overlooked. I am much indebted to him for calling 

 my attention to it. — E. J. Champion, Horsell, Woking : December, 1914.
