Oxypoda longijjes, Muls. (? metatarsalis, Thoms.) is recorded from Scotland 
by Sharp, Ent. M. M. vi. p. 281. 
Oxypoda niiidivcniris^ ¥Qixm.)=latercdis, Sahib.: Kjaatz, B. E. Z. xiv.

Thomson (Opusc. Ent. fasc. ii.) records Ilomalota incognita and canescens 
(Sharp), and (fasc. iii.) H. cavifrom, Slip., and II, eremita, Rye, from 
Sweden. — Ilomalota suhcenea^ Shp., = (^^Ae^a) aquatica (Thoms.): Thoms. 
ibid. p. 130. 
Sharp (Ent. M. M. vi. p. 230) notes the identity of Spanish and English 
spp. of Ilomalota. H, ohliqnepunctata, Wollast.,=^;ai;ews, Er^ ; II, pulchraj

Bold (Ent. M. M. vii. p. 13G) proves the priority of Ilomalota algai, Hdy., 
over II. qmncticeps (Thoms.), and considers Hardy’s name should be adopted, 
in spite of the confusion of his insects. 
Champion gives localities for 8G spp. of Ilomalota from the London dis- 
trict (Ent. M. M. vi. p. 267). 
Actochnru, g. n., Sharp, 1. c. (May 1870) p. 279. Ant. and interm, tarsi 
4-, post. 5-jointed ; eyes obsolete; lab. palpi 2-jointed; 3rd joint of max. 
palpi inflated, 4th subulate. In some characters allied to Myllamay in others 
to Gyrophmia, but nearest allied to Silusa (sec. auct.). Sp. A. readingiiy 
sp. n,. Sharp, ibid.y Plymouth (max. and lab. figured). [Fauvel (Pet. 
Nouv. 27, p. 108) claims to have described this sp. in 18G9, under the name 
of A. marina ; but he does not state in what publication, and the Recorder 
has failed to find any such description or name in that year. Fauvel also 
states that the insect belongs to the Oxytelides, near ThinobiuSy and not to 
the AleocharideSy as Sharp considers. It is to be hoped that he is more accu- 
rate in his date than in this utterly erroneous statement. lie has found the 
insect with JEpis \sic'] at Saint- Vaast-la-Hogue, Manche.] 
Piochardia, g. n., v. Heyden, B. E. Z. xiv. Beih. p. 76, Taf. ii. fig. 1. Com- 
pared with Ilomccma by its author, who distinguishes it therefrom chiefly 
by the more slender penult, joint of its max. palpi, and its short and thick 
antennae, this genus is stated by Kraatz (ibid. p. 17G) to be most closely 
allied to his Oxysoma. No examination appears to have been made of the 
cibarian organs of the unique exponent of the new genus. Sp, P. lepismi-
