NEW BRITISH SPECIES, ETC., IN 1867. 63 



9. HOMALOTA DEPRESSA, Fab. 



Mr. Crotch (1. c.) suggests the adoption of this name for 

 the insect known to us as H. brunnea, which, as he states, 

 is identical with Hoinalium hrunneumy Payk. 



10. Oligota parva, Kr. 



jiygyncea, Kr. [nornen prius usitatum]. 



Ml-. Crotch (I. c.) adopts this correction. 



11. QUEDIUS RUFIPES, Er. 



Mr. Crotch (1. c), referring Marshamian types of Q. semi- 

 ohscurus to this species, proposes to retain the Erichsonian 

 semi-ohscurus in place of Stephens' semi-ceneySf though 

 Ericlison's name refers to the Marshamian insect^ This, 

 surely, is inadmissible. 



12. Philonthus concinnus, Grav. ; Ent. Ann. 1867, 65. 



Mr. Crotch (1. c.) states this to be a small form of 

 P. ebeninus, noticed by Erichson and Kraatz, but apparently 

 possessing constant specific characters ; also that Thomson 

 first (I presume, secondly) regarded it as a species, under 

 the name of varians (nee Payk.). 



13. Leptacinus pusillus, Steph. 



Mr. Crotch (1. c.) adopts this name for the insect known 

 to us as L. linearis, Grav., the specific appellation of which 

 clashes (as he says) with the Xantliolinus of the same 

 name. 



14. Lithocharis ferruginea, Er. ; Ent. Ann. 1867, 66. 

 Mr. Crotch (1. c.) thinks there may be some confusion
