Gymnetrides. 
Gymnetron. G. R. Crotch publishes (Entomologist, ii. pp. 216-221) a 
translation of the analytical table of the species of this genus given by Brisout 
do Barneyille, with eharacters of the British species, 13 in number.

Cryptorhynchides. 
Acalles. Brisout de Barneville has published (Ann. Soc. 
Ent. Er. 4® ser. tome iv. pp. 441-482) a monograph of the 
species of Acalles found in Europe, Algeria, and the Atlantic 
islands. The total number of species cited by the author is 41, 
of which 24 occur in Europe, 8 in Algeria, 2 in Teneriffe, 14 in 
Madeira, and 1 on the Salvages. The descriptions of most of 
the latter are borrowed from Wollaston. The number of new 
species described is 2. Acalles eeonii, described by Wollaston as 
having received its MS. name from Chevrolat (Cat. Can. Col. 
p. 285), appears here as a new species (/,. c. p. 452) named by 
Wollaston in lilt. The other Canarian species recorded is A. 
argillosus (Schonh.) ; hut the 11 new species described by 
Wollaston (Cat. Can. Col.) are not referred to.

Ceuthorhynchides. 
Ceuthorhynchideus minimus. Rye publishes Walton’s description of this 
species, no example of which is known. Ent. M. Mag. ii. p. 11. 
Goureau communicated to the French Entomological Society a note on 
the habits of Ceutorhynchus assimilis (Gyll,), which he regards as identical 
with the Grypidius brassicce of Focillon, of which the larvae feed upon the 
seeds of the Colza. The larvae found in the gall-like excrescences of the 
root are those of C. sulcicollis (Gyll.). Laboulbene coincided with Goureau 
in these opinions. Bull. Soc. Ent. Fr. 1865, pp. ii-iii. 
Ceuthorhynchideics. Rye publishes a note on the synonymy of the species 
of this genus. Ent. M. Mag. ii. p. 63, 
Ceuthorhynclms, &c. G. R. Crotch publishes (Entomologist, ii. pp. 259- 
261) some remarks on the synonymy of the British species of Ceuthorhynchus, 
CeuthorhynchidiuSf and Cceliodes derived from determinations of British spe- 
cimens by Brisout de Barneville.
