NEW BRITISH SPECIES, ETC., IN 1865. 103 



a good species, but as the species ; the true C. giittuJa being 

 very rare, and of more northern distribution ; also that all 

 his specimens of the so-called rjuttula sent to M. Brisout 

 were returned as fuUginosus, I see, also, it is recorded as 

 British in M. de Marseul's Catalogue. 



From Schonherr (/oc. cit.) this species appears to resemble 

 guttula very closely, but to be rather less in size, with the 

 forehead level between the eyes, and with no impressed 

 foveola ; the thorax narrower in front, with its sides not 

 sinuated, the dorsal furrow not so deep and more widely in-

With reference to Ceuthorhynchus generally, Mr. Crotch 

 informs us (" The Entomologist," vol. i. p. 260) that he 

 has laid a nearly complete series of our English species (in- 

 cluding such as are under manuscript names, and which ap- 

 pear to be pretty generally known) before M. Ch. Brisout de 

 Barneville, who has during some time occupied himself with 

 that interesting group, and is about to publish his work (in 

 the French '' Annales") during the ensuing winter. 



It will be anticipated from the following alterations, &c., 

 proposed by Mr. Crotch in the above-mentioned Journal, on 

 the authority of M. Brisout, that much yet remains to be 

 done in other genera. 



As regards the species above named, Mr. Crotch remarks 

 that it is hitherto undescribed, and that M. Brisout has pro- 

 visionally named it C. Eu])horhm : — why, I am at a loss to 

 conceive, since it seems to come off Veronica (according to 

 Mr. Samuel Stevens, who periodically takes it at Mickle- 

 ham) ; it would seem also m.ore in accordance with the pro- 

 verbial Gallic courtesy if the species were allowed to retain
