nitens (1. c. p. 111. fig. 5). 
Kraatz publishes notes on Notiophilus laticollis (Chaud.);^rttom (Duft.), 
and hUjuttatus (Fab.). JElaphrus semipimctatus (Fab.) is regarded by Kraatz 
as a variety of iV. biyuttatus (Berl. ent. Zeitschr. 1808; p. 284).

Pamborides. 
Castelnau (Trans. Roy. Soc. Viet. viii. p. 96) discusses the Australian 
species of Pamborus, which he says are common in New South Wales and 
Queensland. lie regards P. alternans and morbillosus as identical. He 
characterizes a new genus, Laeordairia, as intermediate between Pamborus 
and Cgchrus.

Brachmides. 
Brachinus. Chaudoir has investigated the North- American species of this 
genus, and publishes the following .synonymic notes upon them, accompanied 
by descriptions (Rev. etlMag. Zool. 1868, pp. 283-301) : — B. alternans (Lee.) is 
probably distinct from B. alternans (Dej.), which Chaudoir describes (/. c. 
p. 284) ; B. deyrollei of Lafert^ and Leconte appear to be identical, and B. 
tormentarius (Lee.) is probably a variety; B. strenuus (Lee.) is distinct from
