NEW BRITISH SPECIES, ETC., IN 1863. 49 



ouglit to refer to picipes (Kirby) Steph., and so on to the 

 end of the genus, deducting one number from each species as 

 tbev now stand. 



22. Oligota granaria, Erichs. Col. March, i. 364, 4 



(1837) ; Wat. Cat. p. 19. 



This species must be restored to our lists. I was induced 

 to expunge it, from the notice in the Entom. Ann. for 1859, 

 p. 126, which simply states it was taken by Dr. Power at 

 the Holt, Hampshire ; and, as the insect taken there by the 

 latter was certainly O. apicata, I presumed we had no right 

 to consider granaria as a British species. The species was, 

 however, introduced by Mr. Watei-house on the authority of 

 a specimen taken by himself, vide Proc. Ent. Soc. 3 May, 

 1858, Zool. 6116 (1858). This reference is given in the 

 above-mentioned Annual ; but the locality therein stated has 

 no connexion with Mr. Waterhouse's insect. 



23. Bryoporus(?) castaneus, Hardy and Bold, Cat. Ins. 



North, and Dur. 1851, p. 107 {Boletohius); G. R. 

 Waterhouse, Proc. Ent. Soc. 2 Mar. 1863, Zool. 

 8480 (1863). 

 nee 3Iegacronus castaiieuSy Steph. 



Mr. Waterhouse has brought forward this species on the 

 authority of the original specimen mentioned in Messrs. 

 Hardy and Bold's Catalogue, and which he has personally 

 examined. It was formerly considered by the latter authors 

 as identical with 3Iegacronus castaneus, Steph., which, 

 however, appears to be only an immature example of Bole- 

 tobius ajialis,
