56 COLEOPTERA. 



24. OxYPODA PALLiDULA, (Mann.) Sahlberg, Ins. Fenn., 



381 ; E. C. Rye, 1. c. 

 helvoltty Er. 



annularis, Wat. Cat., nee Mann. 

 This change must be made, according to M. Fauvel, to 

 whom I have sent types of Mr. Waterhouse's insect. 



According to Sahlberg (who described from a single spe- 

 cimen, of which the antennae were mi<sing\ his pallichda 

 resembles annularis in colour, but differs in its shorter and 

 broader thorax. 



25. OxYPODA FERiiuGiNEA, Er., Gen. et Spec. Staph., 147; 



Ktz., Ins. Deutsch., ii, 189; E. C. Rye, 

 I.e. 

 misella, Waterhouse, nee Kraatz. 

 M. Fauvel, — to whom I have sent types of the instct 

 taken at Shirley by myself, and upon which O. misella was 

 introduced as British, — makes the above correction in nomen- 

 clature. O. ferruginea already stands in Wat. Cat. as a 

 synonym of brachyptera, Stephens; but the long antennae 

 of the latter insect render such a conjunction impossible. 

 Not being able to refer O. brachyptera, Steph., to any 

 species described on the Continent, I have sent types of it to 

 Dr. Kraatz, but have not yet received his opinion thereupon. 



26. HoMALOTA INSECTA, Thoms., Ofv. Vet. Ac. (1856); 



id., Sk. Col., iii. 8 (Aloeonota) ; D. Sharp, 



Trans. Ent. Soc, 1869, 97. 



languida, Scriba, nee Er. 



This (as Dr. Sharp appears to have suspected) is the prior 



Homalota sulcifrons, (Kirby) Steph., Wat. Cat., identified 



erroneously by Mr. Waterhouse with M. pavens, Er. I
