MR. C. J. C. POOL ON 



C. elongatulus. Unfortunately it has lost all of its legs and 

 antennae and is without data. It may be one of Mr. Crotch's 

 Scotch examples, but I have failed to trace the others in any 

 other collection. 



The only other record of the species is Knowle, Wawickshire 

 (Blatch) (Cat. Brit. Is., Fowler, vol. iv. p. 209). This is an error, 

 as there is not even a label for elongatulus in the Blatch cabinet. 



The position of this species in the British List depends entirely 

 upon a single imperfect specimen of doubtful origin, and it pro- 

 bably remains for collectors in the north to prove if the Scotch 

 record is justified. 



Professor T. Hudson Beare tells me he has never found any 

 specimen in Scotland which in any way agreed with the descrip- 

 tion of this species. 



I am indebted to Mr. H. Willoughby Ellis for allowing me to 

 study the Cissidse in the Blatch Collection, and to Mr. Hugh Scott 

 for the loan of the Crotch specimen for examination. 



Genus Rhopalodontus Mellie. 



R. PERFORATUS Gyll. 



There are not any recent records of this insect, which has only 

 occurred at Rannoch in Perthshire. Bred with Cis nitidus, from 

 a hard Boletus found on old birch trees in the Black Forest 

 (Foxcroft, 1853-4). The last record was Rannoch (Turner, 

 1858). 



R. FRONTICORNIS PailZ. 



I have bred this species in plenty from fungi on elm and 

 willow and beech from Epping Forest, Enfield, Cheslumt, 

 Godalming, and have taken it in small numbers at Brock enhurst 

 and Orpington, Kent.
