Pcecilus, as its describer opines. 
Ahax audoini (Duf.) = pyrenccus (Dej.): G. des Cottes, Pet. nouv. Ent. 
No. 7. (These two insects are identified in De Mars. Cat.) 
Perez Arc as (Bol.-rev. Uni vers. Madrid, ii. p. 203) describes an insect 
under the name of Percus majoricensis^ which he believes to be a Majorcan 
form of the Minorcan He distinguishes P. navaricus (Dej.) from 
patruelis (Duf.), and attributes (Fairm. & Motsch.) to the former.

PuTZEYS (Ann. Soc. Ent. Belg. xii. C. r. p. lix) notes a var. of Amara tri- 
vialis, with very fine superficial striae and flat interstices to the elytra. He 
also records a small form of Pcecilus cupreus, with contracted interstices and 
three punctures on the fifth interstice. 
Amara fusca (Dej.) is recorded as British by Sharp, Ent. Mo. Mag. v, 
p. 196. 
Crotch (Coleopt. Hefte, v. p. 110) suggests the following corrections: — 
Pcecilus kugclanni (Panz.) should stand, dimidiatus being preoccupied j P. 
Icpidus should be roforred to Leslie, and P. punctulatus to Schallor, instead 
of to Fabr. ; Argutor longicollis (Duft.) should be used for incequalis (Marsh. 
ncc Panz.) ; Omascus aierrinms to bo referred to Hbst., not to Paykull j 
Platysma tnacrum to be referred to Marsham, not to Steph., and to be used 
for picimanum (Duft.) ; Molops terricola (Fab. nec Hbst.) requires renaming; 
Cyrtonotus alpinus to be referred to Payk., not to Fabr. ; Amara eurynota 
(Panz.) is older than acuminata (Payk.), and should be used.
