Dr. Schaum on the British Geodcpliaga. 35 



Trimorphus scapularis and confinis, Ste., are the same as Badister 

 humeralis, Bon. ; T. erro, Newm., is identical with B. peltatus. 111. 



Badister suturalis. — The specimen originally described and figured 

 by Stephens is a pretty variety of B. unipustiilatus, Bon., cephalotes, 

 Dej. The specimens which Stephens subsequently received and 

 mentioned in the ' Supplement to his Illustrations ' are of a similar 

 variety of B. bipustulatus . To the latter species B. microcephalus, 

 Ste., also belongs. 



Epomis circumscriptus, Duft., is not indigenous in England ; in 

 Stephens's collection I found under this name two different Chlcenii 

 from the Cape. 



Chltenius fiilgidus, Ste., is an immature specimen of C. melano- 

 cornis, which has shrivelled in drying ; C. xanthopus, Ste., is a North 

 American species allied to C. cobalthms. 



Agonum austriacum is modestiim, Dej.; A. fulgens, Ste., is iden- 

 tical with A. Ericeti, Panz., Sturm; A. plicicolle is a deformed spe- 

 cimen of A. viduum ; A. viduum, Erichson's species of the same name. 

 A. versutum, lave, emarginatum, moestum, lugubre and afrum all ap- 

 peared to me to belong to A. mosstum, Erich. A. Bogemanni I have 

 not seen, the species not being in Stephens's collection. 



A. quadripunctatum differs entirely from quadripunctaium, DeGeer, 

 and appeared to me to be A.fuliginosum, Knoch ; A. consimile I look 

 upon as A. scitulum, Dej., and A. atratum, Ste., as gracile, Sturm, 

 Dej. ; A. piceum, Simpsoni, pullum, striatum and fuliginosum are all to 

 be united as A.fuliginosum, Knoch; A. micans and cursitor corre- 

 spond with A. micans, Nicolai, Er., pelidimm, Duft., Dej. ; A. picipes 

 is the species so called by Dejean and Erichson. A. fuscipenne and 

 gracile belong again to fuliginosum; A. pelidnum is Thoreyi, Dej., a 

 species not rare in England ; A. affine is the true A. pelidnum, Payk., 

 Gyll., Er., puellum, Dej. ; A. pusillum is a single minute specimen, 

 and therefore difficult to determine ; perhaps it is also to be united 

 to A.fuliginosum; A. livens is the Gyllenhalian insect of the same 

 name. 



Odontonyx rotundicollis, Marsh., is the same as Olisthopus rotwi- 

 datus, Payk. 



Calathus apicalis, Newm., is described after an immature specimen 

 of C. melanocephalus : C. crocopus and fuscus are to be united with 

 C. flavipes, Payk., Sturm; C. rufangulus is the genuine C. fuscus. 

 Fab., Dej., Er. ; C. tnollis is ochropterus, Duft., a plentiful species at 

 Liverpool, under stones near t'ne sea ; C. nubigena, Haliday, is a di- 

 stinct species which has been discovered in Ireland. 



Platyderus ruficollis is Feronia (^Pterost.) depressa, Dej. 



Argutor inquinatus is a large variety of F. vernalis, Dej. ; A. rufo- 

 marginatus and vernalis are specimens of the same species of ordinary 

 size; A. intequalis, Scalesii and longicollis are varieties of A. longi- 

 collis, Duft., Sturm, ochraceus, Sturm, negligens, Dej. ; A. diligens is 

 A. strenuus. 111., Panz., pullus, Gyll., Dej. ; A. interstinctus, ery^ 

 thropus, strenuus and pullus all belong to A. pygmccus, Sturm, Er., 

 strenuus, Dej. ; A. anthracinus is Feronia minor, Dej. 



Pogonus Burrellii is P. luridipennis. Germ. ; P. chalceus and litto-
