Oxytelides. 
Oxypot'us maxillosus (Fab.). Wankowiez (Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 4® ser. vii. 
pp. 264 and 256) discusses the variations of this species, to which he refers 
. O. mannerheimii (Gyll.). 
Platystethus hrevipennis (Baudi) occurs at’Odessa, and is probably identical 
with P. rnfospinus (Hochh.) according to Solsky, Horse Soc. Ent Ross. iv. 
p. 84. 
Oxytelus Jlavipes (Steph.) of Murray’s Catalogue of Scottish Coleoptera ” 
proves to be 0. maritwms (Thoms.). O. Jlavipes is not represented in

PsELAPHIDiE. 
Brendel (Proc. Ent. Soc. Phil. vi. p. 191) describes a Bryaxis intermedia^ 
which, he regards as a climatic variety of B. abdominalis, intermediate be- 
tween B. abdominalis and B,jloridana^ the latter being probably also a 
variety. He also gives (/. c. p. 194) comparative characters of the females of 
9 North American species, and remarks (p. 193) that B, clavata is a truly 
distinct species.
