COIiEOHTERA. 205 



Bruchus inciae, 01. This must be deleted as the var. fahraei, Gyll., does 

 not appertain to this species ; 1 have a British example ( <J ) named 

 fahraei by M. Bedel, which appears to me to be a small rujipes, Hbst., 

 with dark legs and antennae (see also FJnt. Mo. Ma;/., xxxvi., 145). 

 (hrhest.es sparsus, Fabr. The "unique" British specimen in the Power 

 collection is a small form of ilicis, F. [Knt. Mo. Ma;/., xl., 134). Apion 

 opeticum, Bach. The two insects in the Power collection are not o/ieticiuH, 

 Bach. {Knt. Mo. Maf/., xl., 133). 



Class II. — Insects belonging to ancient history, which have not 

 occurred for about 50 years, some of them being extremely doubtful as 

 Bi'itish : — It/uoitiis atlspersiis, F., Bled ins femoralis, Gyll. (probably 

 erroneously named). Oxi/telns pieeiis,h. Scraptia (labia, 01. Rhipirhites 

 auratus, Scop. //. hacchus, L. Otiorhynchus inorio, F., var. ebenivns, 

 8ch. (one of Greville's specimens is in the Power collection). Poly- 

 liritsns planifrons, Gyll. (Dr. Ellis records a capture in 1887, but is it 

 certain that the insect is correctly named ?). Tapivotiis sellatiis, F. 

 Ht/potheneniHs ennlitiis, West. 



Class III. — Insects inserted upon the authority of a single 

 specimen : — Cirindela eampestris, L., var. fiiuehris, Sturm. (A'»^ Ann., 

 1867, 101). Har/ialKs ealreatiis, Sturm. (Ent. Mo. Ma;/., xxii., 172).

 Hell. {Ent. Her., xv., 128). Ba;/oiis IntosKS, Gyll. {Knt. Mo. Ma;/., 

 xxxviii., 240). ('rt/phalns </raniilati(s, Ratz., the single specimen men- 

 tioned by Fowler {Brit. Cnl., v., 431) is not now in the Power collection. 



It is quite possible that I have overlooked some records of the 

 insects in Classes II and III, since my researches have been confined 

 chiefly to the F!nt. Mo. Ma;/, and Ent. Record. If other coleopterists 

 can add to these records, one of the objects I have in view, i.e., that of 

 placing the species named on a more secure basis, will be accomplished. 

 In a future number I intend to say something about the synonymy of 

 one or two species, and to make some remarks on others not properly 

 fallino- into anv of the above mentioned classes. 



Note on Orsodacna lineola, Pz. — (hsodaoia lineola, Pz., occurs 

 early in June on hawthorn blossoms ; there are two forms, that with 

 testaceous elytra and a dark suture {lineola proper) and a form entirely 

 blue black { = lninieralis, Latr.). At the same time two common Tele- 

 phorids are also about on the hawthorn, which, in the net or beating- 

 tray, may lead to the Orsoilaena being overlooked, they are liha;/oni/c]ia 

 limbata and lJas;/tes aerosns, lues. I found I made one mistake in the 

 case of the Ihtsi/tes m separating the insects after death. Anyhow, it 

 is worth while for a collector in Surrey to bear this in mind, whether
