Pristonychus Terricola. I have in this in- 

 stance deviated from the plan of naming the 

 insects in the above lists from Mr. Stephens's 

 Catalogue, where its generic name is Sphodrus. 

 and adopted that given in his " Nomenclature 

 of British Insects," as established by De Jean. 

 It is distinguished from Sphodrus leucophthal- 

 mus by its smaller size and the absence of 

 wings.
