Zahrus gthhiis. Kiinstler (Verb. z.-b. Wien, xxi. Beih. p. 12) discusses in- 
juries to cultivated plants from tins species. 
Amara, Bon. Putzeys (L’Ab. 1871, p. 100) monographs the 114 European 
spp. of this genus. According to him, A. chaudoiri, Hochh.,s=n(/i^<?s, Dej. • 
concmnaf Zimm., should be used instead of lepida^ Zimm., which is 2 of the 
same sp. j ovalts, Muls., seems scarcely different from vulgaris^ Pz. ; a new 
species, from Sardinia, is indicated, under the name raymondi (p. 25) ; vul- 
garis, Thoms., ncc Vz.^—famelica^ Zimm. ; ohscuricornis, Mots., = 
Dfts. ; indierensisj Mots,, = nm5w/<m5, Zimm. ; microcephala, Mots.,=rM/?wo?rt, 
Zimm. ; Schaiim’s reference of zimmermannij Ileer, to bifronSj Gyll., is by no 
means certainly correct ; rufocincta, Sahib., not uncommon in many parts of 
England, is stated not to occur in that country, and hrunnea, Gyll., is adopted, 
from Ireland, as British, according to Dawson [whose insect has long been 
shown to be rufocinctd] ; daurica, Mots., 111. ; alpina^ F. [long re- 
corded as British] is only recognized from Sweden and Lapland.
