Murray (Ann. & Mag. N. H. 3rd ser. xx. pp. 317-318) dis-

Ptinus, Kiesenwetter remarks (Berl. ent. Zeitschr. 1867, p. 127) that the 
Portuguese species of this genus described by Illiger have been greatly hiis- 
taken by later writers. He indicates that P. lusitnnicuS (Ghdr^.) =dilophUs 
(111.), pi. 1. fig. 2; P. dilophus (Boield.)=/ws/^awMs (111.), and P. lusitanus 
(Boield.) is a ^ of the same species ; P. alpinus (Boield.)=wrom^?fs (Kie-
