122 COLEOPTERA. 



TycHius TIBIALIS, Sclion., G. R. Crotch, Cat. Brit. Col. 

 ed. 2. 

 Mr. Crotch (loc. cit.) states that comparisons with type 

 specimens show that T. nigrirostriSf Waterh., corresponds 

 with this species, as had ah-eady been suspected. 



AcALYPTUS RUFiPEiVNis, Schon., Curc. iii, 448, 3; G. R. 



Crotch, Cat. Brit. Col. ed. 2. 



Mr. Crotch (loc. cit.) states that the A. carpini of our 



catalogues must be referred to this species, the true insect of 



that name being larger and always clothed with silvery scales. 



Orchestes rufus, Oliv. ; H. Bris. de Barn.; E. C. Rye, 

 Ent. Mo. Mag. vol. ii, pp. 224, 259. 



Mr. Brisout, in his monograph of Orchestes (Ann. de la 

 Soc. Ent. de Fr., 4rae serie, v. 5, p. 253 et seq.), states that 

 this insect appears to be wanting in this country. It is, how- 

 ever, included in the lists of Walton and Waterhouse ; and 

 Mr. F. Smith has pointed out that there are three specimens 

 of it in the British collection of the Brit. Mus., mounted, &c., 

 in exactly the same manner as hosts of other undoubted in- 

 digenous species. 



It is always entirely blood-red, less bulky, narrower, and 

 more convex than O. quercus, and with the elytra strongly 

 punctate-striate. 



Baris abrotani. Germ., Ins. Spec. 202,324; G. R. Crotch, 

 Cat. Brit. Col. ed. 2. 



Mr. Crotch (Ent. 33, 133) proposes to ignore the name 

 (picicorniSf Marsh.) used for this insect by Walton. 



His reason is that B. alTotani and B. lepidii were con- 

 founded ; that from their relative distribution, probably the 

 latter was the type; and that certainly Stephens had B» 

 lepidii in view.
