40 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Neoctodon for multidentatus, Klug. This is an error (Entom. 

 xxvii. 314). Eeitter, however, usesB,itseiin.Sb's genus Mnematidium 

 instead of Mnematium, McLeay {ritchei, McLeay = silenus, 

 Oliv.). This is also incorrect, as Mnematidium midtidentatum 

 is greatly dissimilar to Mnematium ritchei, McL. Mnematium, 

 McLeay, and Pachysoma, Kirby; belong to the second division of 

 my section Ateuchini, having the head and thorax very convex, 

 more rounded, and shorter, and with the body wingless. 



Bedel's subgenus Ateuchetus includes such forms as cicatricosus, 

 Lucas, puncticollis , semipunctatus, and variolosus. These species 

 agree with Actinophorus, Cr., as restricted by Erichson and 

 others, although the genus Actinophorus, as given by Erichson, 

 will bear dividing up into two distinct groups. 



I append a diagram showing how the present genus Ateuchus 

 may be divided : — 



Ateuchus 



Sebasteos, Westw. 



Actinophorus, = Ateuchetus, 



Creutz. Bedel. 



I I Mnematidiuin, 



I I 'Bits. 



Ateuchus (proper) Heliocantharus, 



Weber. McL. 



The following specimens are not mentioned in my list : — 

 ganglhaueri, Eeitter, Verhaudlung des Naturf. Vereines in Brunn, 



xxxi. (1892), p. 162. Hab. Persia. 

 laticollis, Linn. 



var. striolatus, Eeitter, I.e., p. 163. Hab. Italy; Morocco. 

 var. semilunatus, Xambeu, Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. vol. 63, Bulletin, 

 p. ccxxvi. Hab. Pyrenees. 



THE lEEEGULAR DIARY OF AN ENTOMOLOGIST, 



1832—1860. 



Some time ago Mr. W. T. F. M. Ingall most kindly sent me 

 a type-written copy of some entomological memoranda made by 

 his father, the late Mr. Thomas Ingall, formerly of the Bank 

 of England, and one of the original members of the Entomo- 

 logical Club, and also of the Entomological Society of London. 



As was the case with many of his contemj)oraries, Mr. Ingall 

 did not confine himself to any particular order of insects, but 

 collected anything that came in his way — Coleoptera, Diptera, 

 Hymenoptera, Lepidoptera, and Neuroptera seem to have been 

 equally interesting. Eead by the light of our present knowledge
