of Erichson. A continental type of the latter insect, however, in Dr. Power's pos- 
session, does not seem to him (or to me) to coincide with the specimens in his 
collection which, as he informs me, represent Mr. Watcrhouse's species. 
13. Hydr^na 6 nov. sp. ? Cat., p. 45, and Pocket Cat., p. 18. Mr. Crotch 
has referred this species (which appears to be represented by insects in Dr. Power's 
collection) to H. pulchella, Germ. (Ent. Ann., 1867, p. 78). 
1-i. Blater 5 nov. sp. ? Cat., p. 52, and Pocket Cat., p. 20. This is repre- 
sented by four examples in Mr. Waterhouse's collection ; one taken in Kensington 
Gardens by himself, and the others in Windsor Forest by Mr. T. H. Griesbach 
and the late Messrs. A. Griesbach and R. Sharman. It is about the size of E. 
pomonw, but has thinner joints to the antenna), brownish (not black) pubescence 
on the thorax, which is duller, being more closely punctured, and the elytra with 
finer stria3, and flatter interstices. For this insect, which I intend shortly to de- 
scribe, I propose the name of E. coccinatus. 
15. Elater 11 1101?. s_p. ? Cat., p. 53, is identified at p. 21. of the Pocket Cat. 
with E. rufitarsis, Desvigues ("Entomologist," 184-2, p. 326), an insect apparently 
described under various names, — of which De Marseul, in the last Edn. (I'Abeille) of 
his Cat., adheres to JEtliiops, Lacord. 
16. Agriotes 4* sp.— ? Cat., p. 109, and Pocket Cat., p. 21. 
Adrastus limbatus (p.), Steph. coll. 
This (usually mixed with Adrastus pallens in collections) is, I believe, repre- 
sented by the Agriotes pallidtolus, 111. ? of both the 1st and 2nd Edns. of Mr. 
Crotch's Cat. 
A. palUdidns ia described as having the elytra either fascous or testaceous ; 
whilst every sjDecimen of our common insect that I have seen has the elytra light, 
with a dark and often broad sutural stripe. 
17. Agriotes 6 nov. sp. ? Cat., p. 54, and Pocket Cat., p. 21. This is the 
insect taken by the Rev. H. Clark under stones on the Chesil Bank. It is very 
closely allied to A. sputator ; but is rather flatter, and slightly larger, with rather 
nioi'e closely punctared thorax and more delicately punctured elytra. 
18. Telephokus 21* sjij.— ? Cat., p. 109, and Pocket Cat., p. 22. This is 
the insect described as T. scoticus (Rye, Cat. " British Beetles") by Mr. D. Sharp 
(vide Ent. Ann., 1867, p. 53), and previously, at different times, attributed to 
T. femoralis, BruUe, T. assimilis, Payk., and T.figuratiis, Mann. 
19. Ptinus 5 sp. ? Cat., p. 58, and Pocket Cat., p. 23. There are several 
specimens in Mr. Waterhouse's collection, labelled " near sub-pilosus." They 
are closely allied to P. fur ; but appear to be smaller than that insect, and to have 
no tuft of pubescence at the back of the thorax. 
20. Anthicus 2 sp. nov. ? Cat. p. 62, and Pocket Cat., p. 24. This has been 
described by Mr. G. R. Crotch under the name of salinus. Vide Ent. Ann., 1867, 
p. 53. 
21. Anthicus 6 sp. nov. ? Cat., p. 62, and Pocket Cat., p. 24. 
Anthicus ater, Mui-ray, Cat. {tesie Wat. Cat.).
