108 COLEOPTERA. 



Agabus dispar, Bold., Zool. 1849, supp. xxiv; Tyneside 

 Nat. Hist. Club Trans, i, 277. 

 Mr. Crotch (loc. cit. p. Ill) proposes to retain Mr. Bold's 

 name for the insect known to us as A. uliginosus, Payk. ; 

 inasmuch as the Linnsean Ilyhius ulicjinosus is much too 

 near in position, and PaykuU quotes Linnaeus for his insect. 



Hydroporus victor, Aube; &c. 

 Mr. Crotch (loc. cit.) proposes io sm\L f err iigineus, Steph., 

 the much older and well recognised name, on account of 

 Myphydrus ferrugineus, Linn. ; but also considers that 

 M. oblonguSf Steph., being prior by a few years to the S, 

 nitidus of Sturm, should be lestored, and that S. piceus, 

 Steph., must be adopted instead of Gyllenhaln, Schiodte. 

 The types of H. thictus, Clark, in Dr. Power's collection, 

 do not appear to Mr. Crotch to differ specifically from 

 S, palustHs. 



OxYPODA Erichsoni, G. R. Crotch, Cat. Brit. Col. 

 ed. 2. 

 uinbrata, Er., nee Grav. 

 Dr. Kraatz, in the Berlin. Ent. Zeit. 1865, 414, has 

 already proposed the name of " humidula" for this insect.

 maritima^ Waterhouse. 

 Jiavipes^ Thoms., nee Grav. 



Herr Scriba points out the identity of Thomson's H. 

 Jlavij^es with I£. atricilla, Er., — the latter appearing to have 

 been described from an immature specimen.
