58 COLEOPTERA. 



60. Thyamis canescens, Foudr.; G. R. Crotch, Cat. Brit. 



Col., 2nd Ed. 

 The specimens belonging to Dr. Power which were named 

 as above by M. Allard, and queried in Mr. Crotch's " Cata- 

 logue," have been returned by Herr Kutschera as T, mem- 

 hranacea^ Foudr. (teuci'ii, All., minuscula, Wat. Cat., nee 

 Foud.) immature; from which insect it certainly seems to 

 me impossible to separate them. 



61. Thyamis Poweri, Allard ; Ent. Ann., 1867, 75. 



Dr. Power has shown me two of the specimens upon 

 which this species is founded, and which have been returned 

 to him from M. Allard. These are, in my opinion, nothing 

 but T. gracilis^ Kuts., differing inter se, and neither of 

 them possessing all the characters given by M. Allard, — 

 which are at most not very pronounced. 



62. Thyamis Waterhousei, Kutsch.; Ent. Ann., 1867, 



97. 



This insect, which has doubtless escaped the recognition 

 of British Coleopterists, as it appears to have been a stum- 

 bling-block to certain of their continental brethren, may 

 briefly be described as T. Jiavicornis, with the six apical 

 joints to its antennae more or less blackened. I possess two 

 specimens, taken at Mickleham, perfectly identical with Mr. 

 Waterhouse's type returned by Herr Kutschera. 



M. Allard (in " L'Abeille "), quoting from memory, ap- 

 pears to be quite confused with regard to this species, evi- 

 dently having in his mind Mr. Waterhouse's insect next 

 hereinafter referred to ; and De Marseul, from the position 

 in which the species appears in his Catalogue, would seem 

 to have followed M. Allard's mistake.
