G. R. Crotch has published (Entomologist, ii. pp. 167-172) a revision of 
the British species of the genus Telq>liorns, founded chiefly on Be Marseul’s 
Monograph (see Zool. Record, pp. 392-393). Tclephortis, as treated by 
.Crotch, includes the following groups as subgenera: — Podahrus, Amistro- 
nycha, TelepJioruSf Absidia, and Phagonycha, Of the genus thus constituted 
Crotch records 24 species, 2 of which appear as British for the first time, 
namely J\ nigricans (Miill.), probably —discoideiis (Steph. nec Ahrens), and 
T. assvnilis (Pa}dc.). — Silis rujicollis (Fab.) is described by Crotch, who like- 
wise indicates the species which are most likely to be found in this country. 
JSIaltliinus and Malthodes. G. R. Crotch publishes (Entomologist, ii. pp. 181- 
183) the characters of the British species of these genera. Of Malthinns only 
3 are known to occur in this country ; of Malthodes 7 are recorded, the Eu- 
ropean fauna including about 36, and that of Sweden 16.
