Miscellaneous . 



Ill our European catalogues and in Gemminger's Catalogue of 

 Coleoptera OnltkeUus pallipes, Fabr., is given as a European species, 

 with 0. imllens, Oliv., as a synonym. 



Fabricius gives Coromandcl as the habitat of his 0. palUpes, and 

 I think this locality will prove to be correct. The type in the 

 Banksian collection measures 6.4 millim. in length. It much 

 resembles 0. concinnus, but the punctures on the thorax are not at 

 all crowded ; the head has two ridges a little in front of the middle, 

 the posterior one shorter than the other and slightl}' angulated ; 

 the anterior margin is scarcely thickened. 



Oaiticellus pcdlens, Oliv., is said to be from Senegal, and as there 

 are several species of the genus which occur in that locality, I see 

 no reason for assuming that Olivier's species is concinnus or any 

 other European species. 



Dates of Blainvilles ' OsieograjjhieJ 



The dates of publication of the parts of this book do not present 

 any especial difficulty ; but as most copies of the work are bound up 

 without the wrapper-titles, and misquotation is common, I append 

 a list of dates taken from Wiegraann's ' Archiv fiir Natur- 

 geschichte ' and other sources : —
