Fam. MELYRIDA. 
p. 206 (genus DoticHosoma). 
In a revision of the members of this group (Berl. Ent. 
Zeit. 136-140; 1867) Kiesenwetter states that the D. 
Hartungii, of the Canarian archipelago, will fall under 
his subgenus Dolichophron ; and that the Madeiran and 
Mediterranean ‘ Dasytes illustris”? (usually cited, also, 
as a Dolichosoma), will enter the subgenus to which he 
has applied the name of Psilothriz. This latter species I 
may add, occurs also on the Great Salvage,—an example 
having lately been detected by myself in a bottle of 
Coleoptera which had been obtained by the Baron Paiva 
from that remote island. 
Fam. ANOBIADAI. 
p- 225 (genus ANoBium). 
(Sp. 641) Anobiwm striatum. 
It would appear that this common, widely-diffused 
Anobium must be cited as the “ domesticum, Fourcr.,” 
that name having the priority over Olivier’s “ striatum.’

Hence its synonymy should be thus cited :— 
Anobium domesticum.
