Feroniides, 
Castelnau, Trans. Boy. Soc. Viet. viii. p. 201, recharacterizes Eccopto- 
genius (Ohaud.), stating that the labrum is not (as described by Lacord.) 
angularly emarginate in 5 or 0 Indian species in his collection. He considers 
that the Trigonostoma violacea of his Etudes Entom. belongs to the group 
(-H) Omalosoma of Feronia, and that the insect probably comes from the N. 
or N.W. coast of N. Holland. 
Gautier des Cottes (Mittheil. schweiz. ent. Gesellsch. iii. p. 134), in a 
more or less intelligible way, indorses the claim of Latreille’s Fermia to 
preference over Pterostickus (Er.). He accuses German entomologists of 
obstinacy in retaining the latter name, being apparently ignorant that Stein 
in his Catalogue (1808) had already reinstated Feroniu. He describes species 
of the subgenus Omaseus from his own collection, and proposes another divi- 
sion (which he states should rigorously be a separate genus) of Feronia, 
under the name of Qluptodactylus (sic) to include vernalis (Panz.), which 
species he considers to have no connexion with Lagarus. He complains of 
De Marseul for suppressing Omaseus incommodus, amongst others. 
Bold (Ent. Mo. Mag. vi. p. IGl) records the fact of I^erostichus rnadidus 
eating a vegetable substance. 
Stierlin (Neuo Denkschr. schweizer. Gesells. Naturwiss. xxiii. 18G9, 
p. 31) describes a form of Pterostichus midtipunctatus (Dej.), from Macug- 
naga, under the name nohilis, which he appears to think is probably of specific 
value. 
For synonymy of Feronia carhonaria (Dej.), see Trans. Amer. Ent. Soc. ii. 
p. 247. 
Ojuaseus fusco-ceneus (Chaud.) = riparius (var.); Feronia carhonaria (Dej.) 
= muta (Say) ; Myas foveatus (Lee.) = cyanescens (Dej.). Leconte, Trans. 
Amer. Ent. Soc. ii. p. 248, note, on Chaudoir’s authority. 
Pterostichus fossulatus (Quens., 1806) = pilosus (Host, 1789) : v. Harold

v. Heyden (Berl. ent. Zeit. xiii. p. 66) reproduces Frivaldszky’s descrip- 
tion of Pterostichus sacheri (Abh. ungar. Acad. 1865, p. 176, t. ix. f. 7), 
which he considers an obsoletely sculptured form of P. jurinei, var. heydeni 
(Dahl). 
Pterostichus {Lyiieropterus') vermicidosus (MtSn.) is erroneously attributed 
to Siberia in Gemm. and V. Harold’s Cat., but occurs at Indega Bay, on the 
coast of the Arctic Ocean, Russia in Europe, according to Kraatz (Berl. ent. 
Zeitschr. xiii. p. 448), who notes the omission of Lyperopterus by Lacordaire,
