Werneburg (Stett. ent. Zeit. 1866, pp. 272-288) has Sub- 
jected the teputed European species of Colid^ to an examina-

which the remainder are to be regarded as aberrant forms or 
varieties. His results, explained at considerable length in the 
paper, are shown in a table. The species recognized by him are
