H. Tournier, Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. (5) iii. [not published until April 22, 
1874], pp. 450-522, in ' Observations sur les especes europeennes et cir- 
cumeuropeennes de la Tribu des Tychiides,' is of opinion that this group 
will eventually have to be united to the Erirliinides, and that the material 
acquired since Lacordaire's establishment of it is already sufficient to 
disintegrate it. Pachytychius and BarytycJiius, Jekel, have their abdo- 
minal segments almost as in Erirliinus^ and a new form approaches the 
Moly tides. Auhceonymus incteti^ Tourn,, is a Pachytychius. Tychius 
elongatus, G-ylL, does not occur in Europe. A var. of Styphlotychius 
scabricoUis, Eos., from Algeria, is described as S.fairmairii (p. 458) ; and 
Tychius ancora, auricoUis, and pernix^ Gryll., pachyderus, Fairm., and 
ruhriceps and 3-7naculatus, Ros., are provisionally referred to that sub- 
genus. T. ^-virgatus, Desbr., = astragali^ Becker ; T. mitratus, Costa, 
schaumi and hicolor, Stierl., exx. typp., = nigricollis, Chevr. ; T. suavis, 
Bris., = laticoUis, Ferris ; T. ohductus, Hoch., has 7-jointed funiculus ; 
T. hjrhyi,'" Wat., = squamulatus, Gyl. ; T. cretaceus, Kies., is distinct from 
cinnamomeus, Kies. ; T. confusus^ Desbr., = morawitzi, Becker ; T. hellus, 
Kirsch, ex. typ.. = fusciUneatus, Luc. ; T. glycyrrhizce, Beck., = rufirostris, 
Sch. ; T. albivittatus, Bris,, alhivittis, Gemm., = aureolus, Kies. ; T. hoiina- 
topus, Gyll., ^junceus, Rch. ; a var. from S. Europe of T. meliloti, Steph., 
is named litigiosus (p. 492) ; T. junceus and meliloti, when found on 
Melilotus officinalis, which has a yellow flower, are almost always dark, 
but light when found on M. alba ; T. brevicornis, Wat., = ^)?/<7mcei<,9, 
Bris., = p)usiUus, Germ. Miccotrogus signaticoUis, Chevr., = cajmcinus, 
Boh., var. ; M. sutu?^ellus, Mots., nec Gyll., is re-named motschulshii 
(p. 509); Sibynes ptarallelus, Kies., seems, to be a Iliccotrogus, -possibly 
cuprifer, Pz., var. ; S. statlcis, Beck., preoccupied, is re-named tournieri 
(Becker, in litt. : p. 512) ; S. arenaricc, Steph., phaleratus, Stev., seriatus, 
bohemannij and algiricus, Desbr., = prhnitus, Hbst. ; S. gallicola, Giraud, 
ex. typ., and ? S. formosus, Aube, = femoraUs, Germ. ; Tychius dohrni, 
Beck,, zebra, Gyl., = S. vittatus, Germ. ; S. rcelofsi, Desbr., = canus,
