Orchestes. Of tlie European and Algerian species of this 
genus Brisout de Barneville has published a monograph (Ann. 
Soc. Ent. Fr. 4® ser. tome v. pp. 253-296). He admits 34 
species of Orchestes, including Tacky erg es as a snhgenus : 4 of 
tliese are characterized as species invisoi and of the remain- 
ing 30, Orchestes proper includes 25 and Tacky erges 5. O. to- 
mentosus (Gyll.) is said to be synonymous with O. pratensis 
(Germ.), and O.fop.datus (Gyll.) with O.erythropus (Germ.) ; 0. 
crinitus (Schonh.) and O. melanarius (Kies.) = O. sparsus 
(Schonh.) ; O. rkodopus (Marsh.) = O. fagi (Linn.) ; and O. 
carnifex (Germ.) ^rohdhly =^s cut ellaris (Fab.). Of the species 
enumerated by De Marseul, 2 are altogether omitted, namely, O. 
longulus (Schauf.), from Greece, and O. monedula (Herbst), from 
Germany \ but these are compensated for by the introduction of 
O. hirtellus (Miller), from Cephalonia, and O. mutalilis (Schonh.), 
from Dauria. One new species is described.
