158 Pro ceedings of the 



grandicollis under it, and none of these under any other 

 name. At the same time he had among them several of 

 the above Portuguese species, and some of alpinus, Gyll. 5 as 

 well as Spencianus, Kirby (cadaverinus, Mann.). 



Catops chrysomeloides=chrifsomeloides, Sp. 



australis = australis, Erichs. 



ag His = fumatus, Erichs. 



Some of C. alpinus, Gyll., were mixed with fumatus under 

 this name, but the great majority were the latter. 



Catops truncatus=se?iceus, Erichs. 



A. single fumatus and a single velox have found their way 

 into the mass of sericeus, but this is obviously by inad- 

 vertence. 



Catops transverso-st?natus = a new species described by me under 

 this name in the foregoing pages. 



Catops pallidas — velox, Spence. Represented by a single bad 

 specimen. 



Catops luridus=scitulus, Erichs. 



The first specimens are scitulus, then follow some of velox, 

 and lastly what may be hrunneus, Sturm. 



flavescens=prcecox, Erichs. 



minutus—anisotomoides, Spence. 



The remainder of his species are different species of Colon, 

 and do not fall within this Monograph. 



I have only now to add the Dichotomous Table of the European 

 species which I promised at the commencement of this paper. 

 It is not to be understood as a substitute for the descriptions, 

 but merely as a slight aid in turning to the quarter where the 

 species are likely to be found.
