Orphnides. 
Harold (1. c. p. 115) remarks that chrysomeloides (Schr.) must be removed 
from the S3monymy of Ochodmts chrgsomelinus (Fab.), as it apparently refers 
to Scrim holomicca (Scop.). As Fabricius had identified his species with 
Schraiik’a, the name of the former must bo altered. 
Geotrupides. 
E. Deyrolle (Pet. nouv. Ent. no. 3, 1 Aug. 1869) states that Fairmaire 
has described a species under the name of Geotrupes anddltisiaous, of which he 
gives the salient characters. 
Harold (Col. Hefte, v. p. 115) observes that there is no necessity to alter 
Geotrupes to Geotrypes (as in Stein’s Cat.), inasmuch as many Latin words 
(e. g. fuga, fucus, nius) are derived directly from the Greek without the u 
undergoing any modification

Glaphy rides. 
Harold (Berlin, entom. Zeitschr. xiii. p. 425 et seq.) describes the known 
species of Glaphyrus, of which (including three which he brings forward as 
new) ho enumerates thirteen. He enters at full length into the structural 
characters of the Glaplxyri.

* These were old words in the Latin, and were more probably derived 
from the common mother of both Latin and Greek.
