574 APPENDIX. 
« §, is,-I think, distinct from C. marginatus. It is more shining ; proportion- 
ally shorter ; the legs are entirely black, and the hind-legs not so long in pro- 
portion. I take it to be C. viduus, Panz., or very near it, or perhaps a variety 
of C. 8-punctatus, Marsh. 
“9, (1.) C. punetulatus, E. B. I think, from a memoradum I made as 
to that insect, Corpus parum villosum. It is doubtless only a variety of 9. (2, 3.) 
“9. (2,3.) C.echinatus, E. B. C. pubescens, Payk. Ihave found it more 
than once near the salt-water rivers, sub alga. p 
“10. is C. puncticollis of Paykull. Itis certainly similar to C. foraminulosus, 
but it is smaller and blacker, the thorax something shorter in proportion ; per- 
haps it is the male ; in other respects they exactly resemble each other. Sub- 
obsolete may be rendered between strive that are of the usual depth and those 
that are but just visible : it is an indefinite term, and must be taken indefinitely. 
In my specimens of C. foraminulosus the striw are as deep as they commonly 
are in this genus, 
“11. C. apricarius, Fabr. 
“12. C. nigriceps, ‘nt. Brit.’ 
“90. C. elevatus is C. unifasciatus, ‘Ent. Brit.’ It is scarcely C. elevatus 
of Fabricius, who says of his ‘ Statura et magnitudo omnino C. erux minor.’ 
C. crux minor is of a different shape, and larger. ‘This insect is very scarce. 
“18, is, I believe, Staph. punctulatus, ‘ Ent. Brit’ It is not .S. obscurus. 
The punctula upon the head and thorax of this latter are more numerous, and 
there is an impunctate line observable on the thorax. In punetulatus, too, the 
head and thorax are nitida, but not so in obscurus. 
“14. St. cruentatus, ‘Ent. Brit.; St. Glabratus, Gravenhorst, ‘Insect. Micropt 
Brunsvic, p. 178. No. 38. 
“15. St. tricolor, Fabr. var.? not of Marsham. St. tricolor, ‘ Ent. Brit.’ is 
Pederus melanocephalus of Fabr. 
“17. I have this for a variety of S¢. linearis, ‘ Ent. Brit’; St. punctulatus, 
Gravenhorst, No. 37. 
“17. St. pyrrhopus, mihi. 
“18. I think this is merely a small variety of Cassida similis, ‘ Ent. Brit.’ 
(C. rubiginosa, Ulig. Herbst.; C. viridis, Fabr. and Paykull, according to Major 
Gyllenkal). The base of the thighs is in all the specimens black. ‘The thorax 
in this specimen is a little elevated longitudinally, at least anteriorly. 
“ Scarites thoracicus appears somewhat different from the species we find 
here, but I believe it to be the true one. 
“ Coccinella 18-guttata. Sinee that specimen was taken mentioned in ‘ Ent. 
Brit.’ by my pupil Mr. Sheppard, I have found it plentifully myself. 
“‘ With respect to the other insects without a label, I find one new species of 
the Staphylinus tribe; but upon these I shall reserve myself till I return the 
box, into which I hope I shall have it in my power to put a few things that 
may not be unacceptable to you, in return for your kindness ; but, having last 
year disposed of 1400 or 1500 specimens to various correspondents, my duplicate 
drawer is rather poor at this time. I have received Donacia appendiculata 
from my Swedish friend, but hope you will find more, as I should be glad to 
possess a British specimen. It is D. Lquiseti of Fabricius. There are a number 
of curious things amongst those you sent to Mr, Marsham, but I had not time 
to examine them all. After you have supplied him, I shall feel much obliged 
if you occasionally think of me, and I shall be happy to make such a return as 
Iam able. Carabus spinilabris, Panz, is C. brunneus, Marsh., ‘ Ent. Brit. ;” 
C. rufescens, Fabr., and C. ferrugineus of the Linnean Cabinet. With C. spini- 
barbis, and a non-descript I have, it forms a distinct genus, but is not a Manti- 
cora, Latreille calls it Pogonophorus. ‘Tom, 3., p. 88.
