Inhabits Sarawak, Lowe. Coll. Druce. 
This species appears to be a local representative of P. TelearcTius 
Hewitson ; like which, Telesiclus and Paradoxa, it closely resembles 
ith sexes of Euplcea Midamus, Linn.

Capture in Devonshire of Hydroporus minutissimus. Germ., Auhd. — To re- 
;roduce into the British list a species which has already been expunged is at all 
Qes a pleasure, but in the case of Hydroporus minutissimus it is peculiarly so to 
fTself, since I was the person on whose authority it was originally admitted, 
tree examples, which were given to me many years ago by the late Mr. W. Clear, 
Cork, and which he believed were taken by himself near that city, formed the 
sis for a short notice in the " Annals of Nat. Hist." (vol. xviii, p. 453, 1846), 
lere I described them as the exponents of what I inadvertently conceived to be 
aew species, under the trivial name of trifasciatus. But subsequent enquiries 
't little doubt on my own mind that Mr. Clear's specimens were in reality Con- 
lental ones ; and so, after remaining for some years in the catalogue amongst 
mcertain natives of Britain," the species was altogether struck out, as having 
len admitted upon evidence which was manifestly insufficient. During a late 
cursion, however, to Slap ton (about seven miles to the westward of Dartmouth), 
single example of it was discovered by my wife, amongst the small submerged 
ingle at the edges of the Ley ; and, being thus warned of its presence, we con- 
lued to search patiently until a tolerable series had been obtained. Its habits 
e precisely similar to what I have observed in the Canary Islands, and elsewhere, — 
e species delighting in shallow, clear water, amongst the shingle of which it 
■incipally resides.
