of a species resembling A. olivaceus (Laf.) in coloration, but having a shorter 
prothorax. Berl. ent. Zeits. 1864, p. 136. 
Kraatz also remarks upon the alliances of Anthicus titbalis (Waltl), 1. c. 
p. 137, and states that A. zonatus (Laf.) is probably a variety of A. fasciatus 
(Laf.), and A. vespertinus (Rosenh.) a variety of A. sanguinicollis (Laf), 
ibid. 5 A, mylabrinuSf dejeanii, and corsicus (Laf), wfdch appear to occur only 
in Corsica and Sardinia, are distinguishable from similar varieties of A. sangui- 
nicollis by their close and fine punctation (ibid., note). A. agilis (KUster) 
appears to be a variety of A. mstabilis (Laf), 1. c. p. 138.
