ZOOLOGICAL LITEUATUllE. 
Pandelle (1. c. p. 342) drops the citation of Gravenhorst for 31. ncmus, 
as that author confused other species with it in his collection, and his de- 
scription is not exact. 
Pandelle (1. c. p. 345) proposes the name 7'et/i for the 31ycetuponis anyularis 
of Mulsant and Pey, on account of a good prior species of the same name 
from America {cmgularis, Sachse) ; and the angular is of Paykull and of Ste- 
phens are respectively attributed as synonyms to striatus (Oliv.) and trinotatus 
(Er.), He also proposes the name fainnairci (/. c. p. 346) for 31. niger 
(Fairm.), on account of the prior Bolitobius niger of Gravenhorst, from North 
America. 
Pandelle (1. c. p. 350), though giving 3Iycetoporus longulus (Mann.), 
lepidus (Gray.), and bimaculatus (Boisd. et Lac., = rujicoimis, Ktz., punctiven- 
iris, Thoms., and the long prior brmmeus of Marsham) as good and distinct, 
species, records his belief that there is but one specilic type among theni. 
Bolitobius {Bryoporus) castancus (Hardy and Bold) is retained instead of 
hardyi (Crotch in litt.) by PandelliS {1. c. p. 352), as the prior castaneus of 
Stephens does not stand specifically. 
Bolitobius distigma (Fairm.) = pyqmceus (Fab.), var. PandelltS, 1. c.

Quediides. 
Rouget (Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 4® s6i\ ix. Bull. p. xxxii) has bred Quedius 
dilatatus, at the end of May, from larvae found in a hornet’s nest in the pre- 
ceding October. 
Baudi (Berl. ent. Zeitschr. xiii. p. 883, note) records 3 specimens of 
Quedius impressus, from Sardinia and Calabria, of which the forehead is 
impressed with four deep equidistant punctures between the eyes.
