and (Reiche) are varieties; also Z. piget' (Dej.), orsinii (D&].), gib- 
hostis (Zimm.), and cognatus (Chaud.). Zirnmermann’s Group VII. included 
only Z. silphoides (Zimm.), referred l»y Schaum to the second group under 
Clievrolat’s name jlavmigulus. To the suhgenus Pelor, Schaum refers P. hla- 
poides (Bej.), with varieties steveni (Fisch.) = (Chaud.) and rugosus 
(Menetr.), and P. foveolatus, n. sp, ; to Poly situs — P.farctus (Zimni.)=jotmc- 
ticollis (I)ej.)=///o6o5^^s (Gory), P. ventricosus (Zimm.), and 2 new species; 
and to Acorius — A. mctaUcscens (Dej.) and A. ghilkmii (Raudi, n. sp,). The 
total numher of species recorded is therefore 04.

Notes 071 knoivn species and genera : — 
C. A. Wilson lias communicated to tlie Entomological Society 
(Ent. Trans. 3rd ser. vol. i., Proc. p. 182) some notes on the 
natm’al history of Calosoma curtisii, which has been found in 
some numbers in Adelaide. The larva3 and perfect beetles are 
met with together, from which the author infers that the prepa- 
ratory states of the insect occujiy several years; they occur 
chiefly on the bare ground, or conceal themselves under dry 
cowdung. The full-grown larvae arc described as very active 
and of a dull black colour, witli red bands. 
Fauvel (Bull. Soc. Ent. Fr. 18G4, p. xxiii) remarks that Notiophilus ger- 
minyi (Fauv.) is a small alpine form of N. palustris (Duftschm.) ; Carahas 
hrisotdi (Fauv.) is a variety of C. ccdenulatus ; Opliomis fativeUi (Math.) is 
identical with O. crihncollis (Bej.) ; Leptusa nigra (Bris,)=X. nqjcstris 
(Fauv.); and Geodromieus anthracimis (Bris.)=6'. nigritus (Miill,). The 
same author mentions the capture at Ilonfleur of Bembidmm lunatum (Bufts.). 
According to Schaum, Procrustes ohtritus (Chaud.) is founded upon very 
convex specimens of P. foudrasii (Bej.), and Car alms occur atus (Chaud.) is 
a broad variety of C. estreicherL Berl. eiit. Zeitschr, 1864, p. 142. 
Aptinus cardicollis (Chaud.) is identical with A. jyyretimis, according to 
Schaum, /. c. p. 142. The same author states that Brachimis hellicosus (Buf.) 
=Jaeulatis (Bej.), B. italicus (Bej.), B. hceticus (Ramb.), and B. Itisjmlensis 
(Ramb.) are founded on very slight modifications of the same species. B. 
grcecus (T)Q].')=iyucidans (Fisch.) is a variety of B. immacidicornis (Bej.). 
L. c. p. 143. 
Schaum also says that Licinus angustus (Chovi’.)=X. ccijuatus (Bej.) ; 
Peronia ccraria (Coq. — mauritunica (Bej.); p'eronia crenati- 
pemds (Chaud.) is not the true F. crenatipennis (Bu Val) = ^?e6•^)J^e/^6■ (Waltl), 
but a variety of F. hcetica (Ramb.). Schaum repeats his assertion that F. 
purpurascens (Bej.) and F. cupripemds (Fairm.)=yra^« (Chaud.) are iden- 
tical; F. lyrodcra (Chaud.) belongs to Adelosia, P'eronia cognata (Bej.) is 
not = P. schmidtii (Kunze) or IHerost. placidus (Rosenh.), but the male of 
F. extensa (iKj.); P'eronia (Aryutor) dijfieilis (Cliiuid.) = P. strenna (B(j.) =
