LITERATURE. 



In this part of my work I shall not translate the descriptions of antecedent authors 

 into Latin, as I did in my ' Trichopterygia Illustrata,' in order both to avoid the charge 

 of pedantry, unjustly imputed by some hypercritical reviewers, and also because the 

 original descriptions are for the most part fully and accurately detailed, and of modern 

 date. To facilitate reference, I have arranged the various authors alphabetically, and 

 not in chronological order. 



BRISOUT DE BARNEVILLE (CH.) 

 Catalogue des Coleopteres Europeens, Greuier (1863). 

 Sacixim bninneum. — In the Appendix to M. Grenier's Catalogue this species is 

 fuUy described {ridf Materiaux pour la Fauna Francaise, p. 70). 



BROUN (THOS.) 



New Zealand -lournal of Science, No. 2, vol. i. p. -190 (1883). 



Holopsis nigellus. 

 ,, pallidus. 



,, Lawsoni. 

 These species are described, somewhat cursorily, by Mr. Broun in the above work as 

 belonging to Holopsis, which he terms a genus of " Cranophorites" having nine jointed 

 antennae. The first and last named I have dissected, and found to be perfectly normal 

 species of Conjiophodes. H. pallidus is, I feel sure, a variety of H. nifidlus. H. Lawsoni 

 was originally regarded by Mr. G. E. Crotch as a Coccinellid. 



COMOLLI (ANT.) 



Coleopt. Provinciie Novocomi, p. 50 (1837). 

 Clypeaster piceus iKunze, 183^1). — This species (now Arthrolips piceus) is well 

 described by M. ComoUi ; by ihe reference to Kunze, it would appear that the species had 

 previously been named by that entomologist in MS. 



DUVAL (CL.) 

 Genera Coleopt. Enrop. ii. pp. 230-234 (1859). 



Sacium rufithorax, p. 232. 

 ,. discedens, p. 238. 

 Corylophus sublaevipennis, p. 234. 

 Moronillus ruficoUis, p. 234. 

 Orthoperus pilosiusculus, p. 236.
