Notes on known species : — 
Catops. Ue Marseul has published the characters of several species of this 
genus. L’Abeille, tome i. pp. xi, xii. 
Kraatz repeats Thomson’s remark, that Catops pilicot'nis (Thoms.) is iden- 
tical with C. longulus (Kelln.). Borl. ent. Zcitschr. 1864, p. 133. 
Scriba (Berl. ent. Zeitschr. 1864, p. 377) characterizes Ncci'ophorus fossor 
and N. gallicuSy and indicates, as a probable means of recognizing the females 
of the two species, that in the larger specimens of that sex the posterior tro- 
chanters are emarginate and furnished with a tooth, as in the males of N, 
fossor. These characters are wanting in the smaller females ; and Scriba be- 
lieves the former to be’ong to N. galhcus, and the latter to N fossor. 
Kraatz records the occurrence in Germany of the following species described 
by Thomson : Nec?'opJiorus ^nicrocephaluSy Colon dclarouzeiy and C. simplex ; 
and C. serripes, Yar. kraatzii (Tourn.). Berl. ent. Zeitschr. 1864, pp. 47, 48. 
Norguet records his finding numerous specimens of Adelops woUastonii 
(Waterh.) upon decaying roots of plants in a particular bed in his garden at 
Lille, and subsequently obtaining gi*eat quantities of the same species by 
burying rotten apples in the ground. He obtained the Adelops onlj'^ from 
one bed. Bull. Soc. Ent. Fr. 1863, p. xli.
