i. Lathrohium angustatum, Boia. ; Kr., Ins. Deutsch., ii, 678. 
This species occurs rai-ely iu various parts of the centre and south of England, 
t is placed in some collections as L. rufipenne, to which it bears, however, a resem- 
ilance only in size and coloiar. L. angustatum is more slender than L. rufipenne, 
?ith long joints to the antennee ; it has a narrower head, which is more densely 
,nd finely punctured, &c. I have seen specimens of L. rufipenne in the collections 
f Dr. Power and Mr. Crotch, besides in my own. The only locality I know of for 
i is the Norfolk fens. 
. Stenus incanus, Er., Gen. et spec. Staph., 700, 19. 
I have found a few specimens of this species on the banks of the Nith hero, 
b belongs to Kraatz's group of black-legged species with simple tarsi. 
. Coi-yloplms suhlainpennis, Duv. 
This species was captured last autumn by 'Mr. Crotch and myself, under some 
ood refuse, near Weymouth. — D. Sharp, Thornhill, Dumfries, 9th December, 1868. 
Note 011 Lithobius forcipatvs. — Mr. Bold's note on Litliohius forcipatus (p. 170) 
9minds me that on several occasions I have seen a Litliohius at sallows, bent on 
be same errand as myself; and occasionally I have seen a Uybemia projemma/ria 
eld tight in the centipede's jaws, but I never saw a noctua — not even Tceniocampa 
ruda — captured by it. And I have known spiders attack fresh specimens on my 
etting-boards. — J. Hellins, Exeter, December, 1868. 
Notes on (MotscliulsManJ British Coleoptera, Sfc. — Among the voluminous 
eferences to Insects contained in Part 2 (by Mr. W. S. Dallas) of " The Record of 
ioological Literature," vol. iv, 1867, are the following, which can hardly fail to 
iterest British Coleopterists. 
p. 231) Stenclophus anglicus, Voet, occurs in Denmark, according to Schiodte, 
who figures its larva in Naturh. Tidsskr., 3rd Ser., iv, 535, pi. 22, figs. 12 — 18. 
T am not aware to what recognized species Voet's Buprestis anglicus is properly 
eferable. It does not appear in any shape in Harold's recently pubhshed compre- 
lensive Cataloge. From the plate (xxxv, fig. 18) in Voet's Cat. Syst. Col. (vol. i, 
I. 67, 18), the insect would seem to be one of the Oeodephaga, and possibly, there- 
are, a Stenolophus ; but the desci-iption is ludicrously vague, and no locality 
whatever is given for the species. 
There is another of Voet's species, Buprestis erythrocephalus Anglus, figured in 
il. xxxvi, fig. 26, stated distinctly to occur in England, and which is clearly recog- 
lizable as Brachinus crepitans. If Linnajus' name were not a trifle earlier in date, 
suppose Schiodte would have proposed to adopt Voet's names for this insect, — or 
no (and, if so, which ?) of them. Fabricius (Spec. Insect.) quotes Voet for this 
pecies, but ignores the " anglicus.'^ 
p. 242) Necrophorus galUcus, Duv., and N. microcephalus, Thorns., are respectively 
referred as vars. to N. fossor and N. ruspator by Grenier, in Bull. Soc. Ent. Fi*., 
1867, p. X ; an opinion anticipated by myself in Ent. Annual, 1866. 
p. 246) Motschulsky, Bull. Soc. Nat. Mosc, xxix, 2, p. 225, thinks the Lathridii 
most nearly allied to the TrichopterygidcB. He founds a new genus, Aeidius 
(1. c, p. 260), of which our L. nodifer is the type, and describes and figm'ea a 
new species, A. nodulosus (p. 261, pi. 6, fig. 7) from England.
