 App. 578, 66, Ql {RJtynchcenus)', E. C. Rye, Ent. 

 Monthly Mag. vol. ii. p. 63 ; G. R. Crotch, " The 

 Entomologist," vol. i. p. 259. 



The insect described by me as C. Poweri (Ent. Monthly 

 Mag. vol. i. p. 137) appears to be identical with the above 

 species. Having gone through the sub-genus Ceuthorhyn- 

 chideus of Dr. Schaum's last European Catalogue, and found 

 that we possessed all its members, I naturally imagined that 

 this distinct insect was new to science ; it seems, however, 

 that several species of Ceuthorhynchideus are erroneously 

 included among Ceuthorhynchus in that Catalogue ; — hence 

 my mistake. 



De Marseul, in his Catalogue (obtainable for half-a- 

 crown through Messrs. Williams & Norgate) correctly 

 places this species, with horridus and troglodytes^ in the six- 

 jointed-funiculus genus. He, however, still retains querci- 

 cola as a true Ceuthorhynchus , Thomson being the first to 

 remark its true character. 



The latter author erroneously considers cochlearice, Gyll., 

 as a Ceuthorhynclddeus ; giving pyrrorhynchus, Marsh., as a 

 synonym. Gyllenhal's insect is a true Ceuthorhynchus, and 

 Marshara's name must stand. 



84. Ceuthorhynchideus Chevrolatii, Ch. Brisout, 

 MS. 

 Mr. Crotch {loc. cit.) briefly intimates that M. Brisout 

 intends to publish under the above name the elegantly and 

 distinctly white-striped and banded var. of troglodytes, 

 long known to us. It appears not to be common, being
