58 COLEOPTERA. 



M. de Marseul's list may, however, act as a spur to 

 English Coleopterists ; if only by showing them what they 

 are expected to take : and in their search for such genera as 

 Scaphium, Spavins, Bolbocerast, Sinoxylon, Xijlopertlia, 

 Rhipidius, Colaspidema, Altirtnidius, and Cynegetis (to 

 say nothing of a few new Chrysomelce), it will be hard 

 if something be not found requiring a record in future

Mr. J. F. Dawson has sent to M. Putzeys a specimen of 

 the D. elongatulus of the Geod. Brit, (kindly lent to me for 

 that purpose by the Rev. H. Clark, who took it, with others, 

 at Deal), which has been i-eturned to him as the above 

 species ) M. Putzeys' name, being prior in date, must of 

 course be retained. 



This synonymy (as mentioned at p. QQ of the Ent. Annual 

 for 1863) was suspected long ago by Mr. Waterhouse, in 

 spite of the late Dr. Schaum having brought over his sup- 

 posed type of D. extensus, which did not quite accord with 

 Putzeys' description, or with our insect ; the fact being, I 

 believe, that the specimen taken in company, and supposed 

 to be identical, with Dr. Schaum's insect, and from which 

 Putzeys described his species, was diflerent from the indi- 

 vidual retained by Dr. Schaum.
