114 COLEOPTERA, 



174. Lathridius undulatus, Motscli., 1. c, 242; Dallas, 



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



Described from England and Meridional Russia. 



The diagnosis states it to be elongate, attenuate, convex, 

 glabrous, rufo-testaceous, with lighter elytra and black eyes; 

 and it is compared to L. aiujulatus, having the sides ot the 

 thorax more undulated and in relief, with the basal im- 

 pression more marked, and more attenuate elytra, of which 

 the interstices are more distinctly elevated. 



175. CoRTiCARiA BOREALis, (Wollaston M.S.) Motsch., 



1. c, xl, i, 70 ; Dallas, 1. c. ; E. C. Rye, 1. c. 



Described from England. Mr. Wollaston himself informs 

 me that the insect he sent to M. Motschulsky under the 

 M.S. name o^borealis is cylindrica, Mann. This synonymy, 

 moreover, is published in De Marseul's Cat., 1863. 



176. Bryaxis Wateriiousei, E. C. Rye, 1. c, 249. 



simplex, Waterhouse, nee Motsch. 



I have proposed this name for the Brijaxis sim])lex of 

 Waterhouse, there being a prior species of the same name 

 described (from the East Indies) by Motschulsky in Bull. 

 Mosc, 1851. 



The late Dr. Schaum, in Berl. Ent. Zeit., has recorded 

 his opinion that Mr. Waterhouse's species is xanthoptera, 

 Reichenb. ; from which, apart from other chaiacters, it differs 

 in the absence of any spinous development of the anterior 

 trochanters in the male. S. xanthoptera, presumably from 

 Dr, Schaum's supposed identification, is given as British in 

 De Marseul's Cat., Ed. 2 (Ent. Ann., 1866).
