ZOOLOGICAL LITERATURE. 
Aub^ maintains (Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 4® ser. tom. iv. p. 323) that all the 
European forms of Apristus belong to one species, for which he retains 
Chaudoir’s name A. subceneus. 
Mors describes a variety (putzeysii) of Carahns aicronitms (Fab.), Ann. 
Soc. Ent. Belg. tom. vii. p. 129, pi. 3. tig. 8. 
Stierlin describes Sicilian varieties of Anchomenus alhipes, Amara nitida^ 
and Bemhidium pimckdatiim. Berl. ent. Zeitschr. 18G4, p. 146. 
Bemhidmin fockii (Hummel) is figured by Bye, Ent. Ann. 1865, fig. 4. 
Beiche has sent French specimens of Anchomemis riificollis (Gautier des 
Cottes) to St. Petersburg for comparison with the types of A. collaris (Me- 
n4tr.). They are said to belong to the same species, as asserted by Schaum.

Kraatz (Berl. ent. Zeitschr. 1864, p. 131) states that Amara cursitans 
(Zimm.) is identical with A. fusea j and is inclined to regard Pei'cus &i)erosus 
(Chaud.) as a stunted form of P. lacertosiis.
