L. Norm. (2) viii. for 1873-74, dated 1874, and simultaneously received 
in London in March 1875. It contains from Xantliolinus to Tanygnathus 
(inverted classification), and the supplement, as before, covers all the 
parts hitherto published. Many very old names are resui^citated, and 
much synonymy given. References are made to pis. v. & vi. not accom- 
panying the part now published. 
The same author, Ann. Ent. 1874, pp. 70-80, reviews Mulsant & 
Rey’s “ Brevipennes ” [Zool. Rec. x. p. 250], pointing out the great pro- 
bability of most of those authors’ new species being already described. 
According to him, Homalota gihhera = occulta^ Er., II. ehenina = con- 
tristata, Ktz., Gyrophama punctulata = j)uncticollis, Th., G. despecta = 
hihamata, Th., Phytosus seminularis = dimidiatus, Woll., and the genus 
Kraatzia — Notothecta, Th. The unnecessary creation of new genera is 
justly criticized.
