 Mr. Crotch records two specimens from the New Forest 

 as distinct from our other species, and agreeing tolerably 

 with the description above cited. Mr. Waterhouse has long 

 had a species of Xylophilus (doubtless identical with Mr. 

 Crotch's) separated in his collection from X. populneus, 



73. Salpingus jeratus, Muls., Col. de Fr., Rostriferes, p. 



34 ; R. Hislop, Ent. Mo. Mag. vol. iii, p. 141 {Lis- 

 sodema) ; G. R. Crotch, Cat. Brit. Col. ed. 2. 



Mr. Hislop records the capture by himself, at Girrick, 

 Berwickshire, of an example of this species, named for him 

 by Mr. Crotch, who had taken other specimens in Scotland. 

 It appears also to have been found by Mr. Wollaston in 

 Lincolnshire. 



Mr. Crotch's insects seemed to be allied to S. atevy from 

 which they are separated by their size, differently shaped 

 thorax and more thickened antennae. 



74. Rynchites uncinatus, Thoms., Skand. Col. vii, 36, 



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

 Soc. 19 Nov. 1866. 



Mr. Crotch (Ent. 33, p. 135) states that this species is 

 larger than R. nanusj with a strigose rostrum, rugulosely 

 punctate thorax, and hooked tibiae ; and that it is commoner 

 in the south than that species. It appears to have been sepa- 

 rated from R. nanus in Dr. Power's collection for some years. 



Thomson separates it from R. nanus by the hook at the 

 apex of the tibiae, the forehead and rostrum being punctu- 

 lated (the latter strigose-punctate at the apex), and the
