Dr. Schaum on the British Geodephaga. 35 
__.» Trimorphus scapularis and confinis, Ste., are the same as Badister 
humeralis, Bon. ; T. erro, Newm., is identical with B. peliatus, Ill. 
Badister suturalis.—The specimen originally described and figured 
by Stephens is a pretty variety of B. unipustulatus, 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 Chlenii 
from the Cape. 
Chlenius fulgidus, Ste., is an immature specimen of C. melano- 
cornis, which has shrivelled in drying; C. ranthopus, Ste., is a North 
American species allied to C. cobaltinus. 
Agonum austriacum. is modestum, Dej.; A. fulgens, Ste., is iden- 
tical with 4. Hriceti, Panz., Sturm; A. plicicolle is a deformed spe- 
cimen of A. viduum; A. viduum, Erichson’s species of the same name. 
A. versutum, leve, emarginatum, mestum, lugubre and afrum all ap- 
peared to me to belong to A. mestum, Erich. A. Bogemanni 1 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 1 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 4. fuliginosum, Knoch; A. micans and cursitor corre- 
spond with A. micans, Nicolai, Er., pelidnum, 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 rotun- 
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. mollis is ochropierus, Duft., a plentiful species at 
Liverpool, under stones near the sea; C. nubigena, Haliday, is a di- 
stinct species which has been discovered in Ireland. 
Platyderus ruficollis is Feronia ( Pterost.) depressa, De}. 
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. inequalis, Scalesii and longicollis are varieties of A. longi- 
collis, Duft., Sturm, ochraceus, Sturm, negligens, De}. ; A. diligens is 
A. strenuus, Ill., Panz., pullus, Gyll., Dej.; A. interstinctus, ery- . 
thropus, strenuus and pullus all belong to A. pygmaeus, Sturm, Er., 
strenuus, Dej.; A. anthracinus is Feronia minor, Dej. 
Pogonus Burrellii is P. luridipennis, Germ. ; P. chalceus and litto-
