Elaterid^. 
Harold (Coleopt. Hefte, v. p. 88 et seq.)y in a series of remarks upon the 
Elateridce of Stein’s Catalogue (wherein, amongst other errors, he notes the 
entire omission of 17 species of that family), makes the following observa- 
tions ; — Adelocera varia (01.) = quercea (Hbst., 1784) ; Plater pomorum was 
apparently first described by Germar (1844), not Geoffroy ; but Lacordaire’s 
ferrugatus (1835) must stand for the species [but see infrii]. The first de- 
scription of E. crocatus is Castelnau’s (1840), but the ervbescens of Eschscholtz 
(1829) must stand for it ; E. och'opterus is to be attributed to Eschscholtz, 
and not Kiister, and elongaiidus to Fab., and not Oliv. ; Cryptohypnus meri- 
dionalis (Casteln., 1840) must stand for lapidicola (Germ.) ; Cardiophorus bi~ 
guttatus is Olivier’s species (1790), and not Fabriciiis’s (1792) ; Melanotus niger 
(Fab.) and aterrimus (01.) clashing with theLinncean Elatersof those names 
respectively, the pimctolineatus of Pelerin must stand for the species to which 
they refer (of. Crotch’s Cat. Biit. Col. ed. 2); Limonms bructeri should be 
assigned to Panzer, and not to Fab. (cf. De Mars. Cat. ed. 3), but aneoniger
