be referred to Aphanarthrum; for although Leconte 
thinks that Hichhoff was mistaken in regarding the funi- 
culus of Dolurgus as 4-jointed, believing it rather to be 
triarticulate, the fact at least remains that at any rate 
three joints must be thoroughly apparent (as indeed he 
plainly affirms),—whereas in Aphanarthrum (as already 
shown) it seems more probable that the funiculus is com- 
posed of only two articulations.

(Sp. 686) Crypturgus concolor. 
Ferrari thinks it possible (vide Berl. Ent. Zeitsch. 254; 
1868) that this may prove to be but a geographical form 
of the European C. pusillus, Gyll.

(Sp. 703) Hylastes trifolit. 
This European Hylastes, which is locally rather abun-

would seem to be attached principally to the Genista sco- 
paria, or common Broom), has been shown to be con- 
specific with the obsewrus of Marsham. Its corrected 
synonymy, therefore, will be as follows :—
