for his genus Jlaplolnphiis (Abhnndl. ungnr. Acad. 180*5, p. 190), and the de- 
scription of his species, IL noglecius (/, c. t. x. fig, 9), stated to he allied to 
Paramecosoma and Tclmatophilus. Kraatz (B. e. Z. 1. c., note) states that he 
has this species, under the name Tdmntophilus frivaldszkyi (Er. in litt.), 
from Frivaldszky, and that it is identical with Paramecosoma robustum 
(Morawitz, 1803). 
Atomaria cnntaminata {J^v.) — ornata (lleer, 1841), according to Tournier 
(Pet. nouv. Ent. no. 3), who has seen Ileer’s type. Heer’s insect is usually 
erroneously given as a synonym of versicolor (Er,), which, published in 1848, 
could not have the priority, even if identical with it.

Corticaria denticulnta (Gy 11.), serraia (Payk., with which C. dcnticulatn, 
Kirby, and L. octodeniatus, Say, are stated to be without doubt identical), and 
elongata (Gyll.) are recorded as common to Europe and N. America by Zim- 
mermann, Trans. Amer. Ent. Soc. ii. p. 250. 
Corticaria rvgulosa (hec.)—pusilla (Mann.) ; Leconte, ibid. 
Lathridius rcjlcxm {hQQ,.)—rugicollis (Mann.): Leconte, ibid. Ziminer- 
mann observes that the species is common to Europe and N. America. 
V. IIeyden (Berl. ent, Zeit. xiii. p. 60) reproduces Frivaldszky’s characters 
for his genus 3Iycctomychus (Abli. d. ungar. Acad. 1865, p. 192), founded on 
the Corticaria maotdayds of Fuss ( = Lathr. variegatus, Uej. Cat.), v. Heyden 
thinks the genus probably identical with Phlocophilm (Waterh.) 
Kraatz (Berl. ent. Zeit. xiii. p. 129) makes some observations upon the two 
species of (constrictus and carinatus') upon which Thomson founds his 
genus Coninomus, the principal character whereof is the distinctly biarticulate 
clava of theantennoe. Both these insects occur in German}'^, according to Kraatz, 
who thinks Thomson’s genus scarcely entitled to stand as such, and who notes 
emphatically a fresh character for carinatus in the distinct white membrane 
on the sides of the thorax, which is wanting in constrictus. [This mem- 
brane is alwa}'S found in fresh specimens of certain Lathridiij notably in L. 
nodifer.'] 
Lathridius limhatus (Forster) (Gyll., Ktz.), according to Kraatz, 
ibid., who remarks that the incisus of German collections, mostly from Markel 
and purporting to be Mannerheim’s species of that name, are to be referred to 
constrictus (Gyll.). 
L. cordaticollis (A\\h6) = tcstaceus (Waterh., Steph.) : Kraatz, ibid. [This 
identification has long been made by Crotch. Vide Entom. Annual, I860, 
p. 120.] 
Kraatz (ibid.) notes the confusion between small Corticaria pubescens md 
C. piligera (Mann.). ' 
Corticaria villosa and C. subwipressa, spp. nn., Zimm. 1. c. p. 256, N. America.
