makes the following remarks upon some of them : — Ocalea rivularis and 
castanea are in his opinion distinct ; Chilopora differs from Calodera in habit 
and mode of life sufficiently to justify its maintenance; Ischnoglossa and 
Stichoglossa are quite distinct, especially in the structure of the mentum ; and 
Enccphalus also is distinct from Gyroph<mia. 
Falagria, Leconte (Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phil. 18G6, p. 872) tabulates the 
North American species of this genus, and characterizes Aleochara hilohata 
(Say), I c. p. 370, 
Ilomalota atricilla (Er.) and II. puncticeps (Thoms.) are distinct species 
according to Scriba, who gives their distinctive characters. Berl. eut. Zeits. 
18GG, p. 290. 
Scriba (Berl. ent. Zeits. 18GG, p. 379) maintains that Ilomalota languida 
(Erichs.) and II longicollis (Muls.) are distinct species, of which he gives 
the characters. 
Ilomalota. Bye, following Scriba, indicates the synonymy of H. puncti- 
ceps (Thoms.) and II atricilla (Erichs.). Ent. M. Mag. iii. p. 122. He also 
refers to II. picea (Motsch.), which he says, curiously enough, is ^‘attributed 
to Britain only in Be Marseul’s catalogue,” although he quotes Motschulsky’s 
description in which “Angleterre” is given as the sole habitat of the 
species. 
llyohates rufus (KY&atz)— I. propmquus (Aub4); arid Myllcena glauca (Aub^) 
is described from immature specimens of M. elongata (Kraatz). Scriba, Berl. 
ent. Zeits. 18GG, p. 303, 
Euryusa wockii (^c\mQ\A') = Haploglossa prcetextata (Erichs.). Euryusa 
sinuata (Erichs.) occurs in Finmark. Ilomalota fungi (Schneid. nec Grav.) 
= H. orhata (Erichs.). L. von Heyden, Stett. ent. Zeit. 186G, p. 253. 
Oxypoda umhrata (Erichs.). Crotch (Cat. Brit. Col.) proposes the name of 
erichsoni for this species = O. humidula (Kraatz) (see Becord, 18G6, p. 431). 
CiiOTCii (Entomologist, iii. pp. 176-17G) refers to the following species of 
this group : — Ehytosus nigrivcntris (Chevr.) ; Euryusa kirhii (Jans.), distinct 
from Thiasophila inquilina (Mark.) ; Cratarcca eryihroceras (Steph.) = prce- 
tcxta (Erichs.); Aleochara ohscurella (Grav.) ; Oxypoda umhrata and its syn- 
onyms ; O. sericea (Heer) = nigrina (Wat.) ; O. incrassata (Muls.) = ater- 
rima (Wat.) ; Ilomalota algce (Hardy) = maritima (Wat.) ; II. depressa ' 
(Fab.) ; and Oligota parva (Kraatz). 
CiiOTCir, Bye, and SjiAiir have added the following species of this group 
to the British list : — Phytosus halticus (Kraatz), Aleochara grisca (Kr.), Iloma- 
loia hypnorum (Kies.), II. crassicornis (Gyll), II. suUilissima (Kraatz), II. 
pollens (Ferrari), and Placusa complanata (Erichs.). See Bye, Ent. Annual, 
18G7, pp. 69-Gl. 
Oxypoda soror (Thoms.) is recorded as a British species by Bye (Ent. M. 
Mag. iii. p. GG), and Eaploglossa pulla (Gyll.) by Bold (/. c. ii. p, 234). 
Gymnusa hrevicollis (Mann.) recorded from Ottawa by Leconte, 1. c. p. 373.
