NEW BRITISH SPECIES, ETC., IN 1866. 75 



The type in the Brit. Mus. Coll. appears also to be in- 

 correctly named. 



46. Hypocoprus latridioides, Motsch., Bull. Mosc. 

 (1833), 75; G. R. Crotch, Cat. Brit. Col. ed. 2; 

 id. Proc. Ent. Soc. 19 Nov. 1866. 



Found very rarely by Mr. Crotch under cow-dung in a 

 sandy field at Brandon, Suffolk. It appears to have been 

 hitherto recorded only from Greece, Southern Russia, and 

 the Cannries. 



This most puzzling little creature (which is stated to be 

 allied to Paramecosoma) can scarcely be likened to any of our 

 recorded insects. It might, perhaps, be superficially de- 

 scribed as a black specimen oi Lissodema ^'guttata, of the 

 size of Latridius rujicollis. 



4tl. Atomaria longicornis, Thoms., Skand. Col. v, 269, 

 2; G. R. Crotch, Cat. Brit. Col. ed. 2; id. Proc. 

 Ent. Soc. 19 Nov. 1866. 



A single specimen was taken near Beauly, Inverness- 

 shire, by Mr. Crotch, during the last summer. 



The species appears to be of the size oi A. Jimetarii, but 

 with longer antennae, and less ample thorax; it resembles 

 elongatula in the structure of its antennae, but differs from 

 that insect in its more convex and rather more strongly punc- 

 tured elytra. 



48. Epistemusolobulus, Payk., Faun, Suec. 1, 295, 24; 



Er., Ins. Deutschl. iii, 402, 4; G. R. Crotch, Cat. 



Brit. Col. ed. 2, 6. 

 Mr. Crotch (Entom. No. 32, p. 122) states that the insect 

 known to us by this name is not correctly designated ; and 

 that the true globulus^ Payk., is much rarer, considerably
