He explains the difference between epipleura ” and ‘‘ epipleiiral fold,” as 
understood by him, and also the position of the trochantin (p. 36, note, 
pi. X. fig. 9, a).

Kraatz (Berl. ent. Zeit. xiii. p. 276), in the course of some observations 
upon a species of JHaps named viatica (in litt.) by Miller, and for which ho 
gives diagnostic characters, mentions the evidence upon which he draws the 
inference that Miller’s insect, B. longicollis^ conjluem^ dorsata^ halophila,fati- 
dica, songorica and confusa (Fischer), convexicollis, coriacea, and scabrosa 
(Mots.), rtflcxicoUiSj var. A, longicallis (Solier), pannonica (Friv.) and gla- 
hrata (Besser) must all be referred to one and the same species ! Of these 
names, Fischer’s longicallis (1844) would seem the oldest ; but there remains 
the confusa of Men^tri^s, published early in 1882, of which the description is 
very meagre, but which is represented in all the best collections by Fischer’s 
last-mentioned insect, and must therefore apparently be retained. 
Kraatz {1. c. p. 279) also notices the confusion between the B. rejlexicollis 
of Solier and the B. rejlexicollis of Fischer, to the latter of which he refers 
as synonyms B. dahlii (Solier) and B. putrida and rohusta (Mots.). In 
an appendix (p. 281) to his notes above mentioned, Kraatz gives the fol- 
lowing synon5’^my : — B. hrynickii (Kryn.)=/>rtmco//«5 (Zoubk ; hrevicollis in 
error); B. Jischeri (Fisch.) (Fald.), var.; B. sulcata (Kiist.) = 
lineata (Bej.) ; B. cegyptiaca {^eA^^—tceniolata (Mdn.) ; B. convexa (Fisch.) = 
abhreviata (M^n.); B. rectangtdaris (^o\.')=gibba (Cast.); B. angulata 
(Beiche) =m’6rosa (Sol.) ; B. striolata (Kiist.) and B. sublineata (Brulld) = 
muci'onata (Latr.). B. hispanica (Sol.) is stated to be distinct from lusitanica 
(Ilbst.) by Kraatz (ibid,), who notices some errors in the Catalogues of 
Schaum and Stein with respect to the genus Blaps,

Allard (L’Abeille_, vi. pp. 159-304) reproduces the descrip- 
tions of all known species of Asida, with additions of new species, 
fresh characters, and synonymy. He gives an analytical table 
of the members of the genus, and modestly avows that his work 
is only intended as a supplement to Solier^s monograph. He 
enumerates 115 species, of which 3 are unknown to him, and 
15 are new. 
According to Allard, A, grisea {^o\.) — rugosa (Fourcroy), of which vicina
