(Kinahan) British. Sp. Bate and Westwood, 1. c. pp. 448-453. 
Philougria ripana (Koch as Ilea, which name is preoccupied in botany) = 
celer (Kinahan), vivida (Koch, the young- of it I. nana, Koch), and rosea 
(Koch) British j the last only found at Plymouth. Sp. Bate and Westwood, 
/. c. pp. 464-4G1. [The generic name is to be spelt ThilygriaP^ 
Platyarthriis hoffmannseggii (Brandt) =? //ea crassicornis (Koch), British, 
found in nests of various species of ants. Sp. Bate and Westwood, 1 . c. 
pp. 4G2-465. 
Omsctts asellus (L.) =s murarius (Guv.) and O. fossor (Koch) = tcenola 
(Koch) = muscorum (of Lerehoullet, not Cuvier) British. Sp. Bate and 
Westwood, 1 . c. pp. 46G-472. 
Porcellio scaher (h 2 Liv.)=granulatus (Lam.)=</w6/ws and affinis (Koch) ; P. 
dilatatus (Brandt) [this has been cited before as a synonym of the preceding 
species] ; P. pictus (Brandt) and crassinervis (Koch) =melanocephalus 
(Schnitzler) j P. Icevis (Latr.) = Cylisticus lavis (Schnitzl.) P. armadUloides 
(Lereboull.) = (Be Geer); P. prumosus (BY&ndt)= frontalis (Lere- 
boull.) ; P. cingendus (Kinahan) : British j the last, taken near Dublin, is the

Armadillo mdgaris (Latr.), including as varieties variegatus (Latr.), opacns 
and willii (Koch), British. Sp. Bate and Westwood, 1 . c. pp. 491-495. The 
authors use this generic name for Armadillidium (Brandt), but do not men- 
tion the genus Armadillo as restricted by Brandt and Milne-Edwards. 
Ilelleria, g. n. Allied to Tylos (Latr.), but distinguished by the first six seg- 
ments of the abdomen being united. The internal antennae seem to be ab- 
sent altogether, as far as this can be ascertained by the examination of a single 
specimen, these organs being rudimentary in the rest of the Oniscidae. Many 
other particulars about the new genus and Tylos are given. Only one species, 
IleUei'ia brevicornis, sp. n., Ajaccio, in Corsica. V. v. Erber, Verhandl. zool.- 
bot. Gesellsch. Wien, xviii. 18G8, pp. 95-114, pi. 1. 
PRANIZIDiE. 
Praniza and Anceus. Nic. Wagner gives a supplement to Hesse’s paper, 
enumerating the differences of the full-grown male and female, Anceus, from 
the larvae, Praniza, and showing that these differences consist in an extraor- 
dinary development of all organs which have any relation to the generation, 
at the expense of the rest of the body. Bull. Acad. Sci. PcStersb. 18GG, 
pp. 497-692. 
SpHvEROMID^. 
Sphceroma serratum (Pabr.) = cf#ierea (Bose), Sph. rugicauda (Leach), 
hookeri (Leach), curium (Leach) with variety griffithsii (Leach), and pri- 
deauxianum (Leach), all British species, described and figured by Sp. Bate 
and Westwood, 1 . c. pp. 401-41G. 
Dynamene rubra (Montagu, MS., Leach), viridis (Leach), and montagui 
(Leach) British species. Sp. Bate and Westwood, 1 . c. pp. 417-424.
