NEW BRITISH SPECIES, ETC., IN 1867. 61 



before long. The Rev. A. Matthews has, also, completed 

 the dissections, drawings and descriptions for his much 

 looked-for Monograph of Trichopteryrjidce ; a book that 

 will certainly cast into the shade all former works on that 

 most puzzling family of atoms. 



With regard to the species now to be recorded, no division 

 into classes (as in the last '' Annual ") is required, on account 

 of the small number requiring comment. 



1. Phytosus nigriventris, Chevr. 



Mr. G. R. Crotch (Newman's Entomologist, 35, p. 175) 

 remarks that this species, nearly allied to P. halticus (Ent. 

 Ann. 1867, p. 59), seems to replace that insect on our 

 southern shores. The only southern example that has oc- 

 curred to me, from the Isle of Wight, is, however, not 

 separable from the Northumberland halticus. 



2. Thiasophila inquilina, Miirk. ; Wat. Cat. 



In the Entomologists' Monthly Magazine, vol. iii, p. 189, 

 I have at full length stated my reasons for uniting the insect 

 known in England as Euryusa Kirhyi with this species ; 

 such collocation having been questioned by my friend Mr. 

 G. R. Crotch (I.e.). 



There seems to be no occasion at present to go any further 

 into the question, as I have not as yet observed any reply 

 to my remarks. 



3. Cratar^a (Haploglossa) erythrocehas, Steph. 



'prcBtexta, Er. 

 Mr. Crotch (1. c), while giving priority to the Stephensian 

 name, which he employs in the 2nd edition of his Catalogue, 

 states that it is in turn superseded by suturaliK, Sahib.
