Underside brown. Anterior wing cerulean bine from tlie second 

 median uervule to tlie inner margin, which has a fringe of long black

 linear, lunular spots margined outwardly near the anal angle by paler 

 colour : a black spot crowned with orange near the base of the tails, 

 a similar black spot at the anal angle crowned with pale blue : the 

 sjiace between the spots irrorated with blue.

This beautiful species has been kindly lent to me by Mr. Druce, 

 to be figured in the next part of the "' LyccBiiidcB.'''' 

 Oatlands, Weybridge : August, 1872. 



Change of Nomenclature. — ^The genus Phloeophilus (script. Phloiophilus in error) 

 of Stephens, of wliicli. the British Edvjardsii apparently remains the sole exponent, 

 having been published in lUustr. Mandib. iii, 1830, is three years anterior in date 

 to Phlreophilus (Anthribidce), characterized in Schonherr's Cure, i, p. 15G, 1833. 

 The latter must, therefore, be re-named, and I propose to call it Lemmophilus, — 

 a word of the same signification. — E. C. Rye, 10, Lower Park Field, Putney, S.W. : 

 August, 1872. 



Notes on captures of Coleoptera in the New Forest. — At tlie risk of repetition, I 

 send a few notes on the Coleoptera observed, during a fortnight's stay at Brocken- 

 hurst, from the middle of June to the beginning of July, in company with my friend, 

 Mr. J. S. AUin, thinking that, although nothing very rare occurred to us, they might 

 prove interesting to some of the readers of the Magazine. 



I again found most of the species recorded by me in E. M. M., vol. viii, p. 85, 

 but failed to obtain more Emus or Colydium (my principal quests), not for want of 

 looking ; but several other species occurred that I had not observed in my previous 

 visits. 



I could not come across any oaks fit to work, in spite of tramping many miles ; 

 and, to this, I suppose must be attributed, the absence of the better oak feeding 

 species from my not very extensive list ; nor could I find any good Cossws-iufectcd 

 trees. 



Stalking flowers, day after day, flxiled to produce Antliaxia .- I suj^pose we were 

 too late for it. 



All the wood we could find to work at were two young dead beech trees (which 

 were very productive), a few logs occasionally, and the usual " moors " or stumps. 



Felled trees are not left about for years on the gi-ound (the woodmen tell me) 

 as they used to be some years back, in Turner's time ; consequently beetles are 

 difficult to obtain ; in fact, two or three hard days' work in the forest produced 

 almost nil. 



The better species we found I note below : — 



Notiophilus rufipes ; Pterosticlius lepidus (rarely) and dimidiatus (pretty com- 

 monly) in sand-pits. Calosoma inquisitor, on old sugar ; Cychrus rostratus, swept 

 up ; Homalota elcgantula, Bris., one specimen swept off fern towards evening ; 

 Mycetoporus clavicornis, by evening sweeping ; Philnnihus splendidulus, tolerably 

 common under bark and in rollen wood ; Stenus lustrator, two or three specimens
