66 COLEOPTERA. 



melanarius should apparently be preferred to Solieri, which 

 it precedes both in the Iconogr. and Spec. Gen. Hydroc] ; 

 Homalota londineiisis, Sharp, is identified with Atheta 

 Gyllenhali, Thorns., — the termiiialis of Gyl., and not of 

 Grav., with which latter Dr. Sharp compares his insect ; 

 H. ignobilis, Sharp, is identified with fungicola, Thorns., 

 Dr. Sharp's fungicola being the sericatis of Thomson (if 

 this be so, everyone, from Kraatz to the present day, has 

 equally been misled). As I have in Ent. Ann. 1872, pp. 

 31 — 33, given an abstract of the third fasciculus of Thomson's 

 work, it may be as well here to give a corresponding notice 

 of the fourth, above mentioned, which consists of article XX,- 

 a second contribution to the Swedish Insect-fauna. This 

 contains, i, Coleoptera, pp. 361 — 394; in addition to the 

 insects above named, differential characters for or descrip- 

 tions of Bembidium concinnum and B. Hasti, Amara 

 curvicrus, sp. n. (next similata, but with black tibia3, and 

 the last ventral segment of the $ having only two setigerous 

 punctures!), Amara alpina, Feronia strenua, var., queried 

 as a species (black, with pitchy-brown legs and antennas, 

 the base of th'C latter and tibiae of the former pitchy-ferru- 

 ginous), Harpalus ?iigrifarsis, Hydroporus suhaljnnuSf 

 sp. n. (near glabellus, acutangulus, and geniculatus), H. 

 incrassatus, sp. n. (near umbrosus, but smaller, and pyg- 

 mcBUs), Gaurodytes Thomsoni, Othius longicornis^ sp. n. 

 (larger and wider than 0. melanocephalus, with the head 

 almost dilated behind the eyes, and longer antenme, of which 

 the penultimate joint is scarcely transverse), Stenus Roger i 

 (distinct from providus), S. stigmula, Atemeles excisus, 

 sp. n. (a little larger and darker than A. paradoxus, with 

 the posterior margin of the thorax sub-excised before the 

 scutellum), Gymnusa variegata, Microglotta gentilis and 

 picipoinis, Gnypeta ccerulea, Aloconota rivulorum. sp. n.
