9000 Insects. 
by Dr. Schaum that this is a variety of A. Solieri, Aubé, a species 
abundant in Iceland. 
Hydnobius punctatus, Siam, and H. spinipes, Gyll., Thoms. These 
two species seem to be closely allied. 1 have about eight specimens 
collected in North Wales, Liverpool and Scotland, and have seen 
others in two or three collections. I have sent my series to M. Thom- 
son for his verdict on the subject. 
Anisotoma picea, Panz. This species was taken by Mr. Foxcroft 
in Perthshire, and was sent to Mr. Waterhouse by the Rev. A. Matthews 
for determination. 
A. scita, Er. Two specimens of this insect have occurred at Monk’s 
Wood, Hants. It is commonly represented by varieties of A. calcarata. 
Cyrtusa pauxilla, Er. One specimen from Monk’s Wood. 
Olibrus liquidus, Er. This species, the “Stephensii, Leach,” of 
our collections, has been long shown to be O. liquidus, Er., by Mr. 
Wollaston. ‘The O. flavicornis, Sturm, is a mere immaculate variety 
of O. bicolor, Fabr., and does not occur in this country. ; 
Telmatophilus Schénherri, Gyll. This species, distinguished from 
its congeners by its dark femora, has been universally admitted by 
authors. M. Kiesenwetter, who has recently described the European 
“species of the genus, says that the sides of the thorax are also much 
more strongly rounded. 
Aphodius borealis, Gyl/. Specimens of the A. uliginosus, Hardy, 
were referred to this species by M. Reiche, perhaps the best authority 
on European Aphodii. M. Thomson, in his recent volume, refers the 
A. borealis, Gyll., to the A. putridus, Sturm. 
Cyphon nitidulus, Thoms., and C. fuscicornis, Thoms. Descriptions 
of these new species, and of two others formed at the expense of 
C. variabilis, will be found in Kiesenwetter. Further investigation and 
a larger series will probably furnish us with one or two more. I may 
mention that I had types of these from M. Thomson for comparison. 
Telephorus figuratus, Mannh., Muls. Three or four specimens at 
Weston. Till lately 1 had confounded this with the T. rufa, Z. Mulsant 
has pointed out the differences with his usual accuracy. 
Dryophilus anobioides, Chevr. This is the species recorded by 
Mr. Waterhouse, who erroneously imagined it to be the true pusillum 
of Gyllenhal. The latter insect is, however, a fir-feeder, and has, 
I believe, been taken recently by Dr. Power. 
Rhopalodontus fronticornis, Panz. This species at first resembles 
E. affine, Gyll., but is distinguished by its totally different clothing. 
I have seen it in several collections.
