in his remarks on the Sohonherrian confnsion as to these species, and in hia re 
of examination of Liuuaean type of pedicularnis, by Mr. Walton's Notes (p. 
above alluded to. 
Anthonomus rufus, Schon. ; des L., I.e., 436. This species, found in the gre 
part of Europe (England being specified), is stated to be often confounded 'c 
ulmi and pedicularius in collections, but to be easily distinguishable by itst 
cylindrical and smooth rostrum. 
Antlionomus conspersus, (Eey) I.e., 445. Occurs in England, amongst c 
localities, and appears to be closely allied to pedicularius, from which it is st 
to differ in being always smaller, of a very dark tone, and narrower and i 
parallel form. Numerous other minute differences will be found in M. des Ljl 
Monograph. 
Anthonomus incurvus, Panz., des L., I.e., 451. Also referred to Engl 
amongst other localities. It appears to be very closely allied to pomorum (espec 
the var. of the latter, in which the fascia of the elytra is not well defined), but t 
shorter than that species, more obtuse behind, less parallel, more convex and r 
abruptly sloped behind; its rostrum is less elongate, its legs lighter and 
slender, and its posterior and middle femora have the notches and teeth 
pronounced. 
This species did not escape Mr. Walton's observations. He notes its p 
liarities and the general opinion as to its not being specifically distinct fron 
pomorum; also that it occurs in Sweden on Prunus padus (Bird cherry), and 
be expected to be found here on that plant. 
Anthonomus sp— ? I see no particular reference to any species or vari! 
satisfactorily agreeing with the very small Anthonomus allied to ruU, but ^ 
lurid elytra, taken by Dr. Sharp and myself in damp parts of small glens 
Camachgouran, Perthshire, and afterwards found to inhabit Comarum palu. 
This insect has been supposed to be Irunnipennis, Curtis {ohscurus, Steph.), wfc 
according to Walton, is nothing but an immature var. of ruU. He does not, 
ever, specify any peculiarity of small size for that var., merely stating in a gen 
way, that ruli varies greatly. The smallest of my Scotch specimens is, wit! 
the rostrum, under an English line in length ; and there is not the least dd- 
that all of them are quite mature.— E. C. Eye, 7, Park Field, Putney, S.^ 
August, 1869. 
Note on PsylUodes nigricollis.—'Rerr von Rottenberg, Berhn. Ent. Zeit., IE 
p. 411, records the capture of this insect, often in company with P. chrysocepU, 
and notes his inability to perceive any points of separation between them exd 
the colour of the elytra ; remarkmg, moreover, that specimens of nigricollis oo 
in which the thorax is brownish ; so that even the color test is not constant. IJ 
glad to find so entire a corroboration of my recorded views on this point.— Id. 
Note on Bledius fuscipes, Rye.— Br. Kraatz, Berl. Ent. Zeit., 1868, p. 
records two specimens taken by the late Herr Pfeil at Stettin, agreeing with exa' 
pies of B. fuscipes from Edinburgh. He gives superficial characters to distingu 
it from B. suhterraneus and pallipes, and considers it a good species. Curiou;!
