AntermoB not so long as the wings, very pilose in tlie (? , foscous. Head, thorax, 
abdomen, and legs, coloured almost as in P. variegatits, but the blackish median line 
on the upper side of the abdomen is apparently absent. Wings hyaline ; wtiterior 
wings irrorated with fuscous, the irrorations becoming confluent and forming more 
or less distinct fuscous fasciee, viz., a basal one indicated only by an almost quadrate 
spot on the inner margin ; another extending obliquely across the wing rather 
before the middle, and very broad on the inner margin ; a third, which may be said 
to commence as a dark spot at the pterostigma, proceeding in an often indistinct 
manner across the wing, and carried round the apical margin, forming a nearly 
semi-circular band (this is very evident in distinctly marked individuals). None of 
the veins yellow. Length of body li-lf" ; expanse of fore-wings 4^-5'". 
Occurs in the same situations as the last, and is probably equally- 
common. Very similar in appearance, but at once separated by its 
slightly larger size, by the dark irrorations being collected into fasciae, 
and by the absence of any yellow veins.

Notes on the un-named species in Mr. Waterhouse's Catalogue of British 
Coleoptera (1861). — There are 23 species uu-named, and mostly queried as new, in 
Mr. Waterhouse's Catalogue, the greater part of which have now, with more or less 
certainty, been endowed with " a local habitation and a name ;" and it has occurred 
to me that it may be of some slight use to British Coleopterists if these species were 
collected together, with references, &c., to the insects to which they are attributed. 
They are as follows : — 
1. Hydropokus 1* sp. — ? Cat., p. 107, and Pocket Cat. (Hydroporus, sp. — ?), 
p. 7. This insect has been identified by the Rev. Hamlet Clark (vide Ent. Ann., 
1863, p. 69) as the H. quinquelineatus of Zetterstedt (Hyphydrus). My friend Mr. 
T. J. Bold appears to have formerly taken it in abundance near Newcastle. 
2. Calodera 1 nov. sp. ? Cat., p. 16 ; Pocket Cat., p. 8. This fine insect, 
occurring rarely in marshy places near London, is the " Callidera nigrita, Mann. ?" 
of the 1st Edn. of Mr. G. R. Crotch's Catalogue of British Coleoptera, and the 
Calodera nigrita of his 2nd Edn., and of my own Catalogue, appended to " British 
Beetles." Mr. Waterhouse informs me that his reason for hesitating to attribute 
the insect to that species (with the description of which he was, of course, well 
acquainted) was that Erichson, in the Gen. et Spec. Staph., describes the abdomen 
of C. nigrita as "planum et cequale " (in distinction to others of the same genus, 
wherein he specifies it as " segmentisbasi summa" — or "4^rimis" or" anteriorihus" 
— " transversim invpressis " or " depressis'), though in the Col. March., p. 303, he says 
"die ersten Ringe an der Basis der Quere nach eingedriiokt," — an expression 
echoed by Dr. Kraatz in Ins. Deutschl., ii., 142 ; — whereas our insect has the four 
first segments of the abdomen distinctly and strongly transversely furrowed. 
Thomson, however (Skand. Col., ii., 300), gives the following character for Calodera 
(in which he includes ?M'(/rita, Mann.), "Abdomen — segmentis 2 — 5 basi impressis ;" 
and I beHeve that Dr. Kraatz has sent over specimens as C. nigrita, Mann., which 
agree with our insect-
