Mr. G. R. Waterhouse's Notes on the 



IV. Notes upon the Species of Elaterid^ in the Stephen- 

 sian Cabinet. By G. R. Waterhouse, Esq., 

 F.Z.S. &c. 



[ReadDec. 7th, 1858.] 



In the following list I have given, in the first column, the species' 

 of Elateridcp, as they occur in Stephens' Manual ; and, in the 

 second column, I have added, opposite each species, the name 

 now commonly adopted for the same on the Continent, or a name 

 which I think will most probably hereafter be adopted.

This insect much resembles the Dolopius marginatus, but the 

 joints of its antennae are shorter ; the thorax is not acutely 

 margined at the sides, excepting on the hinder part ; and 

 the elytra are rather shorter and more acuminated behind.
