116 . THE kntomologist's kecord. 



Dr. A. Fleischer (loc. cit., p. 43) ; it was taken at Hartlepool by Mr. 

 Gardner, Mr. Donisthorpe, and the author. 



(3) Ankotoma dubia, Kug., var. daridiana, n. var. This variety 

 was described by Dr. Joy [Ent. Mo. Ma<j., vol. xlvii., p. 11) as a new 

 species, distinct from dubia. A few months later [loc. cit., p. 167) Dr. 

 Joy came to the conclusion that it was only a variety of dubia. It 

 seems to be generally distributed throughout England. 



(4) Telepliorus thoracicus, Oliv., var. suturalis, Schilsky, introduced 

 by Mr. Champion {loc. cit., p. 17) on specimens taken at Gosport by 

 Mr. Pool, and at Woking by Mr. Champion. 



(5) liryaxifi iinpressa, Panz., var. nnicolor, n. var. This variety 

 was described by Mr. J. Collins {he. cit., p. 276) from specimens taken 

 in Cheshire, and at Yarnton, Oxford. 



Changes in Synonymy. — (1) Haliplun conjiyns, Steph., var. pallens, 

 Fow. Mr. Edwards {loc. cit., p. 1) was of opinion that this variety is 

 an authentic species, and should be known as H. pallens:, Fow. 



(2) Halipliifi cineretis, Aube. According to Mr. Edwards {he. cit.) 

 this ingect should be known as H. laminatus, Schall. 



(3) Laccobim ncutellaris, Mots. Dr. Sharp appears now to be of 

 opinion that the insects he recently introduced under this name are 

 more correctly known as L. rei/ularis, Rey. {he. cit., p. 22). 



(4) Homahta basicornix, Muls. Dr. Sharp states {he. cit., p. 257) 

 that our exponents of U. autnm7iali!i, Er., are really basicornis, Muls., 

 but he also expresses the opinion that there is no reason why the true 

 autHmnalis should not occur in Great Britain. 



(5) Stenns crassus, Steph., var. littoralis, Th. This variety is 

 Stenux formicetorum, Mann. Mr. Dollman, who took a specimen at 

 Ditchling, in August 1910, introduced his capture as a species new to 

 our fauna {F/nt. Record, vol. xxiii., p. 95). Mr. Newbery, however, 

 rightly points out {F.nt. Mo. Mai/., vol. xlviii., p. 11) that there is only 

 a change of synonymy in the matter, the var. littoralis becoming the 

 species fornncetorum.'''- 



(6) Quediiis vexans, Epp., should be known as Q. heidenreichi, 

 Bernh. The author pointed out {he. cit., p. 140) that the insect found 

 in moles' nests and known amongst British coleopterists as Q. vexans 

 was an insect new to science, which had recently been described by 

 Dr. Bernhauer. Capt. Deville has also described the same insect as 

 Q. talparniii. 



(7) Aniaototna {Liodes) nigrita, Schmidt. The insects which we 

 have called by this name really belong to the species A. seita, Er., as 

 pointed out by Dr. Joy {toe. cit., p. 168) and therefore nijfrita 

 disappears from our list. 



(8) Anisntoma {Liodes) obesa, Schm. Dr. Joy was of opinion 

 {he. cit.) that this species is only a variety of A. dubia, Kug. 



(9) Anisotoina {Liodes) simihta, Rye. Dr. Joy was of opinion 

 {he. cit.) that this insect is only a variety of A. badia, Stni. 



(10) Lonyitarsus pnle.i, Schrank, should, according to Messrs. 

 Tomlin and Sharp, be known as /y. obliteratm, Rosehn. {he. cit., 

 p. 245). 



(11) Longitarms ater, P., should be known as /.. parntliis, Payk. 

 {he. cit., p. 246). 



Messrs. Tomlin and Sharp are of opinion that 1 jongitarsus niger, 



* I understand Mr. Dollman maintains that bis original determination is 

 right.— (H.J. T.)
