96 COLEOPTERA. 



possess specimens taken by the late H. Squire, and also by 

 Mr. D. Sharp, at Horning, in some of which not only the 

 femora, but the tibice (except the upper end), are nearly black ; 

 and in others, this depth of colour diminishes until the whole 

 leg is testaceous. From Gyllenhal's description the antennae 

 should not be " nearly black," but obscure ferruginous, with 

 the first joint black, and the tibiae ferruginous, but darker at 

 the apex. T. typhcp varies considerably in size and width ; 

 and is found on Sparganium (Mr. Douglas) and Car^ex, as 

 well as Typha, according to Gyllenhall.

Dr. Power records the capture by Charles Turner of the 

 above species ; specimens received fi-om the latter agreeing 

 with one in Mr. Crotch's Collection, formerly in that of Mr. 

 Wollaston, and which is on a point of card, without date or 

 locality, but named nigrinum years ago by Mr. Wollaston. 

 Dr. Power remarks, also, that there is an example of it in 

 the European Collection of the Brit. Mus., under the name 

 of Anohium plumbeum. 



Dr. Power notices the formation by Mulsant and Rey 

 (Ess. Opus. xiii. 92, 1863) of the genus Liozoum, which is 

 founded on the species of Anohium wherein the elytra are 

 punctate, and the tarsi elongate and slender ; adding that the 

 propriety of that step had been previously pointed out by 

 Thomson (Skand. Col. i. 88, 1859), who has apphed the 

 generic name Ernohius to such species, and whose name 

 must therefore be retained, if Anohium be split into two.
