210 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



T. brevicollis, Aub^. Now first introduced into our lists, 

 on two specimens taken Ly myself at Weston-siijDer-Mare. It 

 resembles T. Caricis, but is smaller, and has the thorax much 

 broader than long. Specimens I received from M, Aube 

 himself agree exactly with my own ; but M. Kiesenweller 

 describes it as of the size of T. Typhae, which 1 do not find 

 to be the case. It is foimd in France and Germany, and is 

 probably generally overlooked. The femora are frequently 

 infuscate, and in many cases the whole insect is piceous. 



T. Typhae, Fall. Closely resembling T. Caricis, but much 

 smaller, with the thorax transverse and more sparingly punc- 

 tured ; the tibiae also are alike in both sexes. Specimens 

 occasionally occur with the femora infuscate. Generally dis- 

 tributed. 



T. Schonherri, Gyll. This species has been confounded 

 with the preceding, from which it differs by the form of the 

 thorax. In this species it has the sides rounded in front, 

 and is distinctly contracted behind. The whole insect is, 

 moreover, much narrower, and the femora and antennae are 

 nearly black. I have found it in various localities. MM. 

 Thomson (Sk. Col. v. 244) and Kiesenwetter (Ins. Dent. iv. 

 672) do not agree well in their descriptions, either in the form 

 of the thorax or in the coloration. My specimens agree best 

 with the species as described by M. Kiesenwetter. — G. R.

147. Notices of some Species lieiv to Britain ; Corrections, 

 ^c. — Eunecles sticticus, L. Introduced by me on a speci- 

 men in Mr. Wollaston's collection, which he purchased with 

 other insects from a collection formed in N. Devon, probably 

 by Dr. Cocks, of Barnstaple : the specimen has every appear- 

 ance of being genuine, being pinned with an ordinary pin, 

 &c. The known distribution of the insect is such as to ren- 

 der its occurrence here very probable. It could not be con- 

 founded with any species, but most resembles a very pale 

 Acilius. 



Cryptophagus serratus, Gyl. This fine species, referred by 

 Erichson to Paramecosoma, is rightly placed in Cryptophagus 

 by Thomson (Sk. Col. v.) The only specimen I have seen 

 was brought by Turner from Scotland, and from him passed 

 into the hands of Mr. Janson. It is utterly distinct from any
