with the scutellum and sides of the breast white, and the 

 elytra more deeply punctate-striate, aud not so dilated behind 

 the middle. 



87. Orchestes populi, Fab. ; Bris. ; E. C. Rye, loc. cit. 



p. 227. 



Indirectly attributed to Britain by M. Brisout, who also 

 refers to Stephens, whose species under this name has been 

 shown by Mr. Walton to be Tachyerges stigma, 



O. populi is oblong-ovate, rather narrow, black, sparingly 

 and very delicately clothed with ashy pubescence, and with 

 the posterior femora un-toothed, very slightly thickened, and 

 banded with black. 



88. Orchestes decoratus. Germ. ; Bris. ; E. C. Rye, 



loc. cit. 

 M. Brisout quotes Stephens' works for the type form, and 

 also refers the O. qffinis of that author to it as an immaculate 

 condition. Mr. Walton has shown that both the 0. decoratus 

 and the O. qffinis of Stephens are O. rusci. 



89. Bagous subcarinatus, (Gyll.) Schon., Syn. Ins. iii, 



543,9; G. R. Crotch, Cat. Brit. Col. ed. 2. 



Mr. Crotch (Ent. 33, p. 135) states that w^e certainly have 

 this species, which is near, but distinct from, B.frit. In the 

 first edition of that gentleman's Catalogue this species was 

 brought forward next to B. litnosus, of which it was, however, 

 intended by him to be a synonym ; and he now informs me 

 that his sill car inatus most probably represents our B. 

 limosus, which M. de Barneville suppresses. 



In the second edition of his Catalogue Mr. Crotch quotes 

 limosus as a synonym to B. laticollis; and informs me that 

 the original limosus (as well as B.j^etrosus), is to be referred 

 to that species.
