Tachyporides. 
Fauvel. (Bull. Soc. Linn. Norm. x. pp. 246, 247) has the following synony- 
mic notes on this group : — Cilea (Duv.) has the priority of leucoparyplms 
(Kraatz) ; the genus Bryoporus (Kraatz) is to be reunited with Mycetopoi'us 
(Erichs.). The specific synonyms referred to by him are all anticipated in 
Be Marseul’s Catalogue. 
Kraatz (Berl. ent. Zeits. 1866, p. 417) remarks on the results publislicd 
by Fauvel, and affirms the distinction of his genus Bryoporus ixom. Mycetoporus. 
Bryoporus castaneus (Hardy and Bold) is altered to B. hardii by Crotch 
(Cat. Brit. Cdl.), the former name being preoccupied. 
Bryoporus rufus (Erichs.) is recorded as a British species by Rye, Ent. M. 
Mag. iii. p. 66. 
Tachinus frigidus (Erichs.) and Mycetoporus tenuis (Muls.) are added to 
the British list by Sharp. See Rye, Ent. Ann. 1867, pp. 62 and 63. 
Tachinus elongatus has occurred on the Altvater above the level of trees ; 
and T. latiusculus was obtained on the Carinthian Alps and not on the Riesen- 
gobirgo. Kioscnwottcr, Berl. ent. Zoits. 1866, p. 288.

Staphylinides . 
Fauvel (Bull. Soc. Linn. Norm. x. pp. 23-24) gives the following synony- 
mic notes on species of this group: — Quedius shnplicifrons (Fairm.) = molo- 
chinus (Grav.), var. ; Oqjpus olympicus (Baudi) = ruhripemiis (Reiche) ; 
Ocypus siculus (Stierl.) probably = melanarius (Heer),and name already em- 
ployed (see also 1. c. p. 248) ; Philonthus maritimus (Motsch.) = thermarum
