(Erichs.) ; P. carhonarius (Gaut.) = longicornis (Auh6) ; Pcedcromorphus 
peduncularim {QiiVit.) — Picdcrm littoralis ((jmy.) disjuncto collo ! Fauvel 
also remarks that all Erichson’s exotic species of Crgptobium must be re- 
ferred to Ilomceotarsus (Hochh.) if that genus be maintained. 
Fauvel adds (1. c. pp. 248-249) : — Achenium caucasicum (Lap.) = Scym- 
balium anale (Nordm.) j Lathrobium concinnum (Bris.) = anale (Luc.) j 
Lithocharis aveyronensis (Math.) = semmigra (Fairm.) ; L. rujicollis (Kraatz) 
= melanocephola (Fab.) ; Simius brunniceps (Fairm.) = Lithoch. ochracea 
(Grav.) ; S. biguttatus (Baudi) = bimaculatus (Erichs.). 
Kraatz (Berl. ent. Zeits. 18C6, pp. 414-415) cites Fauvel’s results, upon 
some of which he remarks as follows : — Ilomoeotarsus may bo united with 
Cryptobium ; but the latter includes several East-Indian species described by 
Kraatz ; Lithocharis rujicollis is quite distinct from melanoccphala.

Oxytelides. 
ScHiODTE (Naturli. Tidsskr. 3rd ser. iv. pp. 142-143) discusses 
the characters of the genera of the Oxytelini genuini (Erichs.), 
and indicates that Bledius has been erroneously placed in the 
vicinity of Oxytelus and Platystethus, its true relation being 
with Carpalimus j of which it represents the type modified for 
tunnelling-purposes. He considers that the Oxytelini genuini 
may be divided into 2 main groups, characterized by the struc- 
ture of the eyes and the position of the coxae, these parts being 
modified in their character according as the species are destined
