(^. .^'uni'e rheno7iiim, and as such I recorded tliein *. Examples 

 idetitifi(,;d by Elliiigstni from Norway (a large series) were 

 all referred to ^7'/«//e (and subspecies and vaiieties thereof) 

 by Verhoeflf (Zool. Anz. xxxix. pp. 499-511, May 1912), 

 Avhilsf the C. raw'iitsi'i recorded from Holland in moles' 

 nests by Father Heselliaiis, iS.J. (Tijdschrift voor Enf. Ivi. 

 1913, p. 240), was later (/. c. Ivii. 1914, p. 80) referred by 

 Verhoeff to simile. It therefore seems that no examjjles of 

 what he regards to be roiolnisii have been examined by 

 Verhoeff from our faujial area, all so named being referred to 

 simile^ and until the reverse is proved I consider it distinctly- 

 advisable to regard Verhoefll's siiuile as a synonym of nno- 

 liusii, Leach, in the meanti\ne, it is to be hoped that more 

 British exaniples may be secured for study. 



Thus a new name is necessary for the raicUusii of Yerlioeff 

 (non Leach), but as Latzel gives the names marmoratum, 

 (J. K. (1847), and gihbosuin, Am 8tein (1857), as synonyms, 

 it would not be wise to suggest a new name without further 

 research. 



Craspedosoma leachi (nom. nov.)^ Bagn. 



Syu. Craspedosoma simile, Attem? (iiou Verhoeff), 1895, Sitz. k. 

 Akad. Wiss. Wien, math.-naturw. CI. civ. pp. 75-70. 



A species allied to mutabile, Lafz. When Attems descril)ed 

 it he was aware of Verhoeft''s var. simile of raivlinm, but the 

 raising of tliis form to specific rank rendered it necessary to 

 give another name to Attcms's species.

Atractosoma latzeli was described by Verhoeff in 1891 

 from the south of England, his description being based upon

 pods new to the British Fauna," Tlie Zoologist, July 1912.
