64 COLEOPTERA. 



between this species and i. hrunnea, some insects which he 

 has attributed to the latter having the longitudinal thoracic 

 groove characteristic of the former. He suggests an error 

 on the part of Dr. Kraatz. 



15. LiTHOCHARis RUFicoLLis, Kraatz. 



Mr. Crotch (1. c.) deposes the Marshamian tricolor as 

 clashing with the Xantholinus of that name. 



16. Mici^a(ca)lymma marina, Strom. 



Mr. Crotch (1. c.) restores this name, antecedent to the

 appears to have first noticed that Stiom described the insect 

 with his u3^2)ys of the same name.

 certain discrepancies between the insect at first so named 

 by that gentleman and Gravenhorst's species, and now repre- 

 sented by the " Bledius 5 sp. — ?" of his Catalogue, is again 

 brought forward as British (but with a queiy) by Mr. 

 Crotch. 



I have certainly (though I have examined many specimens

 in or with the descriptions of Gravenhorst's species. Indeed, 

 there would appear to be some difficulty on the Continent in 

 makins: out the latter ; as I have even been informed that so 

 acute a Coleopterist as M. Ch. Brisout, to whom examples 

 of my B. ftiscipes had been sent, had referred that species
