De Marseul (Ij’Ab. viii. pp. 1-104, separate pagination) has commenced 
a monograph of this group, founded on the works of Seidlitz and Stierlin. 
The part published discusses the genera Holcorkinus, Cyclomaiirus, Mylacus, 
Cyclopterus, Peritelus, Coenopsis, and the commencement of Otiorhynchus. 
The following observations occur (the changes of nomenclature being appa- 
rently based on the grounds stated in Zool. Rec. viii. p. 299) : — Ilolcorhimis 
pilosulus, Chevr., ex. typ., — querulus. Boh., $, with which species -ff. albi- 
maryinatus, Luc., is probably identical ; Cyclomaurus punctatus. All., P =
