122 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



species. M. Thomson has revived Dejean's applicable name 

 for the old angusticollis. 



Laemophlceus pusillus. — This species is a purely ^yare- 

 house insect, and does not appear to have naturalized itself 

 like its congener, L. ferrugineus. It should therefore be 

 transferred to the end of the list. The same remark will 

 apply to Silvanus advena. 



Cryptophagus. — Some of the species brought forward in 

 my former Catalogue were introduced as examples so named 

 by continental Entomologists, not in all cases with sufficient 

 accuracy. Thus C subdepressus corresponds with C. affinis, 

 St., according to the specimens in Mr. Bold's collection, 

 named for him in Paris, Mr. Janson had also represented 

 this species by an immature C. affinis. Paramecosoma Abietis 

 appears not to be known as yet in this country : it is very 

 common at times in the " Landes," and might not improbably 

 occur at Bournemouth or other pine localities ; it is a con- 

 stant guest of the gregarious larvae on the pine, especially 

 C. processionea. Cryptophagus grandis is a very good and 

 distinct species, unlike any other. C. fuscicornis was founded 

 on an extreme variety of C. denlatus, but Mr. Rye informs 

 me that he has met with what he considers to be the true 

 species. 



Atomaria nana. — The evidence so carefully adduced by 

 Mr. Wollaston is enough to throw over Stephens's name. 

 The description is admittedly worthless, and out of nine spe- 

 cimens five were placed under other names 1 To supersede, 

 on such grounds as these, the accurate and minute descrip- 

 tion of Erichson, is more than is likely to be admitted by 

 any that use his works. 



Ephistemus gyrinoides. — Wollaston pointed out the cor- 

 rect synonymy of this genus in 1854. Our common insect is 

 the ovulum, Er., and no doubt E. gyrinoides. Marsh. The 

 true globulus, Pk., is much rarer, and is considerably smaller 

 and differently shaped ; the thorax, moreover, being simply 

 emarginate in front, instead of bisinuate. 



Lathridiiis angulatus. — Specimens of this insect, named 

 by Count Motschulsky, the author of the species, are now 

 before me. It is very close to L. angusticollis, but differs 

 materially in the form of the anterior angles of the thorax ; 

 and as yet I have seen no gradation.
