NEW BRITISH SPECIES NOTICED IN 1858. 127 



25. Oligota flavicornis, Lacord. ; Waterhouse, Cat. Brit. 



Col. 19 (1858). 



Mr. Waterhouse has referred this species to Erichson ; it 

 was, however, long previously described under the name 

 of Hypocyptus flavicornis in Boisduval and Lacordaire's 

 Faune Ent. des Envir. de Paris, i. 521, 4 (1835), as cited 

 both by Erichson and Kraatz. 



Nearly allied to the preceding species, resembling it in 

 form and the pale colour of the antennae, but in the present 

 insect these organs have the club consisting of three joints 

 only, while in O. granaria it is ^a<iW-articulate. I found 

 a pair of this insect beneath dead leaves at the roots of trees 

 at Wanstead, Essex, on the 21st October, 1851 ; it was taken 

 in some numbers by beating lime trees, at Kennington, in 

 July, 1857. 



26. Gyroph2ENA gentilis, Eric. ; Waterhouse, Cat. Brit. 



Col. 19 (1858). 

 I have met with this species in fungi near Hampstead in 

 July ; it is apparently very rare. 



27. Gyroph^ina strictula, Eric; Waterhouse, Cat. Brit. 



Col. 19 (1858).

Brit. Col. 19 (1858); Proc. Ent. Soc. 3 May, 1858, 

 Zool. 6115 (1858). 

 Taken by Dr. Power at the Holt, Hampshire. I have 

 met with it in boleti at Colney Hatch.
