Dr. Schaum on the British Gcodcphaga. 35 



Trimorphns scapularis and confinis, Ste., are the same as Badister 

 humeralis, Bon. ; T. erro, Newm., is identical with B. peltatus. 111. 



Badister suturalis. — The specimen originally described and figured 

 by Stephens is a pretty variety of B. unipustulatus, Bon., cephalotes, 

 Dej. The specimens which Stephens subsequently received and 

 mentioned in the * Supplement to his Illustrations ' are of a similar 

 variety of B. bipustulatus . To the latter species B. microcephalus, 

 Ste., also belongs. 



Epomis circumscriptus, Duft., is not indigenous in England ; in 

 Stephens's collection I found under this name two different Chlccnii 

 from the Cape. 



Chlisnius jfulgidus, Ste., is an immature specimen of C. melano- 

 cornis, which has shrivelled in drying ; C. xanthopus, Ste., is a North 

 American species allied to C. cohaltinus. 



Agonum austriacum is modestum, Dej.; A.fulgens, Ste., is iden- 

 tical with A. Ericeti, Panz., Sturm; A. plicicolle is a deformed spe- 

 cimen of A. viduum ; A.viduum, Erichson's species of the same name. 

 A. versutum, lave, emarginatum, moestum, lugubre and afrum all ap- 

 peared to me to belong to A. moestum, Erich. A. Bogemanni I have 

 not seen, the species not being in Stephens's collection. 



A. quadripunctatum diflfers entirely from quadripunctaium, DeGeer, 

 and appeared to me to he A. fuliginosum, Knoch ; A. consimiie I look 

 upon as A. scitulum, Dej., and yi. atratum, Ste., as gracile, Sturm, 

 Dej. ; A. piceum, Simpsoni, pullum, striatum and fuliginosum are all to 

 be united as A. fuliginosum, Knoch ; A. micans and cursitor corre- 

 spond with A. micans, Nicolai, Er., pelidnum, Duft., Dej. ; A. picipes 

 is the species so called by Dejean and Erichson. A.fuscipenne and 

 gracile belong again to fuliginosum ; A. pelidnum is Thoreyi, Dej., a 

 species not rare in England ; A. affine is the true^. pelidnum, Payk., 

 Gyll., Er., puellum, Dej. ; A. pusillum is a single minute specimen, 

 and therefore difficult to determine ; perhaps it is also to be united 

 to A . fuliginosum ', A. livens is the Gyllenhalian insect of the same 

 name. 



Odontonyx rotundicollis. Marsh., is the same as Olisthopus rotun' 

 datus, Payk. 



Calathus apicalis, Newm., is described after an immature specimen 

 of C. melanocephalus ; C crocopus and fuscus are to be united with 

 C.flavipes, Payk., Sturm; C. rufangulus is the genuine C. fuscus. 

 Fab., Dej., Er. ; C. mollis is ochropterus, Duft., a plentiful species at 

 Liverpool, under stones near the sea ; C. nubigena, Haliday, is a di- 

 stinct species which has been discovered in Ireland. 



Platyderus ruficollis is Feronia (Pterost.) depressa, Dej. 



Argutor inquinatus is a large variety of F. vernalis, Dej. ; A. rufo- 

 marginatus and vernalis are specimens of the same species of ordinary 

 size; A. incequalis, Scalesii and longicollis are varieties of A. longi- 

 collis, Duft., Sturm, ochraceus, Sturm, negligens, Dej. ; A. diligens is 

 A. strenuus, 111., Panz., pullus, Gyll., Dej. ; A. interstinctus , ery^ 

 thropus, strenuus and pullus all belong to A. pygmceus, Sturm, Er., 

 strenuus, Dej. ; A. anthracinus is Feronia minor, Dej. 



Pogonus Burrellii is P. luridipennis, Germ. ; P. chalceus and litto-
