Anchonoderus id., Reiche, Rey. Zool., 1843, p. 39. 
Baron Chaudoir, the possessor of Dejean’s types, and whose 
opinion on such a subject otherwise is final, informs me that this 
species belongs to Stolonis.

STOLONIS GRACILIS, . sp. 7 
Minor, gracitior, thorace quam in cognatis paulo angustiore, postice paulo minus: 
subitd coarctato ; nigro-picea, iridescens, thoracis margine laterali ad basin continuato, | 
basi pauciter grosse punctato; elytrorum suturd postice margineque laterali deflexo 
fulvo-piceis; antennarum articulis 1—3 rufo-piceis, 4—6, 7% dimidio, et 11 nigriss | 
reliquis albis, pedibus flavo-testaceis ; oris partibus rufo-testaceis. Long. 2% lin. | 
Doubtless closely allied to S¢. elegans, to which Dejean ascribes 
somewhat differently coloured antenne. The thorax is much less | 
‘perfectly round than in S¢. apicata, leistoides, Julvostiqma, &e., being 
rather more gradually narrowed anteriorly and posteriorly ; and the 
lateral rim forms a small projecting angle at the commencement of the. 
constricted base. |

SToLonts OVATICOLLIS, n. Sp. 
Gracilis, angustata, nigra, iridescens 3 capite pone oculos gradatim attenuato, | 
deinde in collum distinctum constricto ; thorace ovato, postice usque ad basin angus-— 
tato, sine stricturd, margine laterali ante basin dentiformi, magis reflewo, angulato, | 
basi (foveis pauciter punctatis ewceptis) levi; elytris fortiter punctato-striatis; oris 
partibus rufo-testaceis; antennarum articulis 1—38 rufo-testaceis, 4—7 nigris, 8—11 4 
albis ; pedibus flavo-testaceis. Long. 3—8% lin. 
Also closely allied, apparently, to S¢. elegans, from which it differs | 
in showing no distinct red tinge or mark along the posterior part of — 
the suture. The constriction of the neck forms a transverse groove. —

ANCHOMENUS DIMIDIATICORNIS, Dej. 
This species, according to its description, would seem to belong to — 
Stolonis ; but in the character of its alternate interstices being punc- — 
tured it differs from all the species known to me. 
Kentish Town: November, 1871.
