134 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



particulars, but has perfectly pale legs, and is certainly quite 

 mature, several specimens having been captured. 



Ceulhorhynchus suturellus, Sclih. — Four or five specimens 

 standing in Mr. Clark's collection were carefully compared 

 with Schonherr's type for me by M. Brisout. Notwithstand- 

 ing therefore certain discrepancies pointed out to me by Mr. 

 Tylden, I have retained this name for the species in question. 



Acalles turbatus. — A. misellus, Schh., is only a small and 

 ill-marked variety of A. turbatus, which name should be 

 retained. 



Cionus hortulanus, Marsh. — This species was sunk by 

 Walton, but has been retained in the European Catalogues. 

 I have only seen a description of it in Thomson's work as 

 yet, but it is sufficiently distinct, and is much commoner than 

 the true C. Thapsus. This latter insect is greener, and has 

 the black spots on the suture very unequal in size. In C. 

 hortulanus the female has the rostrum smooth and attenuate. 



Tychius. — This genus is as yet in great confusion. M. 

 Brisout informs me that he contemplates a revision of it with 

 the Schonherrian types. I have here followed the nomen- 

 clature of his little tabulation of the French species, pub- 

 lished in the * Annales,' T. polylineatus must be regarded 

 as new to our faima, the polylineatus of Waterhouse being 

 what M. Brisout calls " lineatulus," a name which cannot 

 however be retained. T. junceus, ff^rt/^ow, corresponds with 

 T. curtus, Bris., the true junceus not occurring in this country. 

 The ochreous-scaled T. Kirbii, Waterhouse, generally kuown 

 as " flavicollis," is certainly the " squauiulatus, Schh." Com- 

 parisons with type specimens show also that T. nigrirostris 

 corresponds with tibialis, Schh., as had already been sus- 

 spected. 



Acalyptus rufipennis. — Of the two species given by 

 Schonherr, ours is certainly referable to the smaller and paler 

 one. A. Carpini is larger, and always clothed with silvery- 

 scales, whereas A. rufipennis is not unfrequently rufescent. 



Magdalinus barbicornis. — Dr. Power possesses specimens 

 of this species, and I have seen examples in other col- 

 lections. It is near M. Pruni, but the singular antennae of 

 the male at once characterize it. 



Byctiscus. — This genus, proposed by M. Thomson, ap- 

 pears to be well founded, and is accepted by Lacordaire and 

 others.
