Strophosomus. Seidlitz (Berl. ent. Zeitschr. 18G7, p. 179) remarks that 
the knowledge of the species of this genus has again become confused, partly 
in consequence of Thomson (in his Skand. Col.) having described the true 
S. coryli (Fab.) as ohesus (Marsh.) and vice versd, and partly from errors in 
Chevrolat’s revision of the species (Mag. de Zool. 1866). He accordingly 
gives a tabular synopsis of the European species (1. c. pp. 180-182), of which 
he admits 17, including 6 new ones here described. S.fagi (Chevr.) is in- ^ 
dicated (p. 183, note) as doubtfully distinct from S. erinaceus (Chevr.), of 
which a detailed description is given. 
Sciaphiltis. Seidlitz (1. c. p. 432) refers Chiloneus siculus and ionicus to 
this genus, in which they form, with (S', contrarim and muricatus^ a natural 
group. Bndipnm (Thoms.) forms a subordinate group of this genus. 
ScHAUFUSS remarks (Col. Hefte, ii. p. 21),that Metallites cristatm (Graells) 
= Sciaphila carimda (Oliv.), and describes the structure of its funiculus.

in Algeria. M^m. Soc. Linn, du Nord de Fr. 1866, p. 173.
