shows that Aube mistook Gyllenhal's species, when de- 

 scribing 31. conicicollis^ which is identical with it. 



MoNOT/)MA FORMiCETORUM, Dcjean. 

 Mr. Crotch (loc. cit.) also adopts Thomson's revival of the 

 older name for the arigusticoUis of Aube. 



L^MOPHLCEUS BIMACULATUS, Payk. 



Mr. Crotch, in the 2nd edition of his *' Catalogue," brackets 

 this species as doubtfully British. It has escaped his obser- 

 vation that Messrs. Scott and Douglas once took a quantity 

 of it under hornbeam bark, in Hainault Forest. 



Cryptophagus subdepressus, Gyll. 

 Mr. Crotch (loc. cit.) now withdraws this species from his 

 " Catalogue." It appeared to be represented in his 1st edi- 

 tion by C. qffiniSf Sturm (Colls. Bold and Janson). His 

 C. grandis he states to be a very good and distinct spe- 

 cies. 



Paramecosoma abietis, Payk. 



Mr. Crotch (loc. cit.) also, as anticipated, withdraws this 

 species; which was, of course, rej)resented by C. vini, 

 Paiiz.
