202 Mr. G. R. Waterhouse's Notes 



Marsham's collection, bearing the No. 16 ; it is, therefore, 

 the Ptinus pygmceiis of the " Ent. Brit." p. 85, sp. 16, and 

 I think is clearly identical with the C. oblongus of Gyl- 

 lenhal and Mellie. 



8. C. rhododactylus. Represented by one (Marshamian) speci- 



men only, and that in bad condition. It is the Pi. rhodo- 

 dactylus of the " Ent. Brit." p. 87, sp. 22, and appears to 

 me to be likewise the C. oblongus of Gyll. I have 

 examined the specimen more than once, and came to the 

 same conclusion. 



9. C. ruficornis. Represented by two specimens, neither of 



them with the Marshamian mark : they are = C hispidus 

 of Mellie. 



10. C. nigricornis. One specimen only : it is not a Marshamian 



type, nor does it agree with the description given in the 

 " Illustrations," which is taken from Marsham's work ; the 

 antennae being testaceous, with a brownish club, instead of 

 " black." It agrees with the C. oblongus of Gyllenhal. 



11. C. n'ltidus. Represented by several specimens of the 



C. glaOriculus of Gyll., = Octotemnus id. Mellie. 



12. C. fronticornis. Three specimens, all of which appear to 

 me to be = C. ajjinis of Gyllenhal = Ennearthron affine, 

 Mellie. 



13. C. hidentatus = C. Udentatus, Oliv., Gyll., &c. 



Besides the above, there is a small series (without name) of 

 C'ts nilidus ; these were given »to Mr. Stephens by myself, I 

 believe, subsequent to the publication of the " Illustrations." 



The following British species have not been recorded by Mr. 

 Stephens, or have been recorded by mistake : — C. micans, C. his- 

 pidus, C.festivus, C.fuscatus, C. Alni, and Ennearthron cornutum.
