G. E. Crotch (Entomologist, iii. pp. 63-65) remarks upon the concluding 
portion of Lacordaire’s genera of Eliynchophora, witli especial reference to the 
changes in the nomenclature and classification of British genera. 
Crotch (Entomologist, iii. pp. 133-136) remarks on the synonymy &c. of 
numerous species of this family, with reference to his new catalogue of British 
Coleoptera. The species referred to are :—Earis ahrotani (Germ.), Ceutho- 
rliynclius versicolor (Bris.), C. pallipes yscc. contractus ?, C. suturellm (Schonh,), 
Acalus miscellus (Schonh.) =var. ttirhatus Cionus liortidanus (Marsh.), 
distinct; Ti/cAms, various species ; Acalyptus rujipennis (Schonh.), Magdalinus 
barbicornis (Latr.), Ehynchites uncinatus (Thoms.); Eagous, various species; 
Procas stevmi (Schonh.), Larinus ebeneus (IMarsh.) = carlince (Oliv.), Hypet'a

(Chcvr.), p. 61. He also describes tlio species of Ilolcorhinus (pp. 62-65), 
and treats II. metallescens (Luc.) as a distinct foim. Procas ruyicollis 
(Perris) probably = P. lethiei'ryi (Chevr.), p. 61. 
Frauenfeld (Verh. zool-bot. Ges. in Wien, xvi. pp. 967-971) gives details
