him ncailj' allied to F. rindicata {1. c. p. 341) ; Cryohius rujicollis (Mann.) is 
an imniaturo form allied to F. cmpetricola (ibid.) ; C. fastidiosm (Mann.),

Calathus. Harold remarlcs upon the nomenclature of the species of this 
genus (Col. Ilefte, iii. pp. 90-93). The most important note is, that as the 
genus Pristodnciyla is now by general consent united with Calathus, W'e get 
two species with the name of advena and two with that of mollis. For 
Calathus {Prist.) admna (Woll.), Harold proposes the name of canariensis. 
C. (Prist.) mollis (Esch.) (Mann.), and the later name wdll stand. 
2'rcchus. Pandelle has published (Mat. pour la Faune des Col. de Frfince, 
pp. 131-101) a monographic revision of the European .species of this genus. 
It is arranged throughout in a tabular form, and contains the characters of 
56 species known to the author. Ten species, with which he is unacquainted, 
are described in a sort of appendix. The genera Blemus (Redt.), Thalasso- 
philus (Woll.), and Epaphius (Leach) are rejected by the author. 
Zahrus validus (Schaum)=var. grcacus, Z. helopioides (Reiche) is distinct 
from damascenus, and Pair dims napoleonis (Reiche) is distinct from e.xcavatus, 
according to Reiche, Col. Ilefte, iii. p. 2. 
Panyus caliyinosus (Fab.) is figured in the American Naturalist (ii. p. Ill, 
fig. 8), and also a larva considered to belong either to this species or to a 
species of JIarpaliis (ibid. fig. 10). 
Ayonum cupripenne (Say) is figured in Amer. Natural, ii. p. Ill, fig. 9. 
Rye publishes a short character of Patrohus napoleonis (Reiche). Ent. M. 
Mag. iv. p. 232. 
Anophthalmus. Horn (Trans. Amer. Ent. Soc. ii. p. 126) tabulates the 
North- American species of this genus. A. ajigulatus (ljQQ,.)^menetriesii 
(Motsch.). 
Reiche’s assertion as to the distinctness of Patrohus napoleonis and P. e.vca^ 
vatus is refuted by Kiesenwetter (Col. Ilefte, iv. p. 92) and Kraatz (ibid, 
p. 95).
