118 COLEOPTERA. 



Cis HispiDUS, Payk. 

 Mr. Crotch (Ent. 32, p. 126) follows Thomson in uniting 

 this species with C. micans, Hbst. ; stating that the only dif- 

 ference is the more serial disposition of the punctures in the 

 former. 



Anaspis pulicaria, Costa, 1853. 

 forci'pataj Muls., 1856. 

 Mr. Crotch (Ent. 26, p. 32) is of opinion that, as Mul- 

 sant quotes Costa's description, and appears to have been in 

 possession of his type, the latter author's name must be re-

 Mulsant's name. 



Anaspis fascia ta, Forst., 1771. 



Geoffroyi, Mull., 1824 ; Muls. 

 Mr. Crotch (loc. cit.) states that this insect was first de- 

 scribed by Geoffroy, and next by Forster, whose name must

 in date to it, and belongs to a true Mordella. 



Anaspis melanopa, Forst., 1771. 



macidata, Fo\xYC.,\l^l ', Muls. 

 Mr. Crotch (loc. cit.) states that Forster's name must be 

 retained for this species. 



Apion ononidis, Gyll. 

 Mr. Sharp (Ent. Mo. Mag. vol. ii, pp. 205, 230) in de- 

 murring to my adoption in the last "Annual" of Thomson's 

 change in the nomenclature of this insect, has been at con- 

 siderable pains, with a view to settling the question of its 

 correct name ; which, however, can scarcely be considered 

 as satisfactorily determined. Independently of my own
