CORRIGENDA. 



Page 6.— Genus [44] and [50]. Transpose the names, both generic and spe- 

 cific, as [44] should be Olisthopus ; and alter at PI. 6, fig. 3, the 

 name Odontonyz to Olisthopus. Subsequently to Olisthopus being 

 figured I discovered that no insect had yet been found combining 

 the characters of Olisthopus, in form and trophi, with the denticu- 

 lated tarsi of Taphria (Synuchus). This Mr. Stephens has since 

 admitted to me to have been an accidental error. I have therefore 

 in PI. 7 necessarily omitted Odontonyx, as not extant in nature, 

 but have inserted its name to show that it is purposely left out. 



Page 28.— Alter the numbering of fig. 6 into 8, 7 into 6, and 8 into 7. 



Page 49— Alter the reference of Genus [421], Tenebrio, to fig 3, instead of 



fig. 2 ; and the reference of the next genus [422], Stene, to fig. 4 



instead of 3. 



Note that Stene is identical with Tribolium figured in the Supple- 

 ment, PI. 2, fig. 5, which from haste I did not discover until 

 too late to cancel it. Tribolium is the name therefore to be 

 adopted, as it was described by Mr. Macleay in the " Annulosa 

 Javanica" in 1825 ; and although not originally a native, as it 

 now breeds here, like other domestic insects that have been in- 

 troduced with merchandise, it may perhaps be admitted in our 

 lists. 



The genus Ecanus I have been obliged to omit, as I could not 

 obtain either the unique British or even a foreign specimen 

 of it. 



The publication of Dr. Erichson's works since the commencement 

 of the present have introduced several new genera amongst the 

 Staphylinidae, by the dismemberment of the old genera, Antho- 

 Mum and Lesteva — the differences however lie chiefly in the 

 trophi. I have therefore thought it not requisite to give figures 

 of them, as I could not introduce them into their proper places.
