NEW BRITISH SPECIES IN 1855. 91 



variegata, Kies., render it exceedingly probable that Mr. 

 Hardy's specimen is also to be referred to that species. 

 Mr. Curtis's insect is, however, undoubtedly the genuine 

 brevicollis, Payk. Eric. 



Euryporus picipes, Payk., Curtis, Proc. Ent. Soc, Lond., 

 January 1st, 1855; Zool. p. 4603 (1855), is given by Mr. 

 Stephens, Man. Brit. Col. 389, 3180 (1839), and is repre- 

 sented by Spry and Shuckard, Gen. Brit. Col., del. 17, 

 Tab. 20, 'fig. 6 (1840). The late Mr. Spry informed me 

 that the figure was made from Mr. Curtis's specimen, to 

 which the remarks in the introduction of their work, p. iv. 

 apply. 



Stenus cemulus, Eric, Curtis, Proc. Ent. Soc, Loud., 

 January 1st, 1855; Zool. p. 4604 (1855), is Stenus nitens, 

 Kirby,MSS.; Leach, Collect.; Steph. Illustr. Mand. v. 300, 

 57 (1833) ; Man. Brit. Col. 411, 3281 (1839), but not of 

 his Collection, as pointed out by Mr. Waterhouse and 

 myself, Trans. Ent. Soc Lond., n. s., iii. 152 (1855). 



Stenus vafellusl Erich.; Curtis, Proc. Ent. Soc. Lond., 

 January 1st, 1855; Zool. p. 4604 (1855), is Stetius submar- 

 ginatus, Kirby, MSS. and Collection; Steph. Illustr. Mand. 

 v. 295, 41 (1833); Man. Brit. Col. 414, 3304 (1839), but 

 not of his Cabinet, as noticed by Mr. Waterhouse and 

 myself, Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond., n. s., iii. 149 (1855). 



I have not embodied in the list " Corticaria cylindrica, 

 Mnhm (?)"; A. H. Haliday, Proc Dublin Nat. Hist. 

 Soc, June 2nd, 1855; Nat. Hist. Review, ii. 119 (1855), 

 as some doubt exists whether it is correctly referred to 

 Mannerheim's species, and further, whether it is specifically 

 distinct from Corticaria borealis, Wollaston, already enu- 

 merated; it is to be hoped that a comparison of specimens 

 will ere long set these doubts at rest. 



Mr. Curtis has announced the discovery of " a new 

 genus? of Staphylinidce allied to Hypocyptus" reared by
