COLEOPTERA.

Polydrosus. Chevrolat, 1. c.j describes the following species : — P, {Eustolus) 
JlorentinnSj p. 73, Fiesole ; P. nodulosus, ibid., South of France ; P. melanostic- 
tus, p. 74, East of France. 
In an unsigned article in Deyrolle’s Petites nouvelles Entomologiques, 
no. 8, 16 Oct. 1869, the following species are described, presumably on the 
part of Desbrochers des Loges, who subsequently (/. c. no. 12) adopts the 
notice in which they appeared : — P. aheillei and P. griseomaculatus, Lower 
Alps, and P. alveolus, Sierra Nevada and Morena. Des Loges again describes 
the first two of these in Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 4® s^r. ix. p. 390 & 394, with the 
following species ; — P. 'peragaUonis, p. 392, no locality given (= nodulosus, 
Chevrolat), and P. arvcrnicus, p. 393, Auvergne, Allior (= mclanosiictus, 
Chevr.). The synonyms are given by Dos Logos himself. 
Tanymecus alhoscutcllatus, Chevr. 1. c. p. 74, Oran. 
Otiorhynchides . 
Lucas (Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 4® s^r. ix. p. 60) refers to the larva and pupa of 
Otiorhynclius sulcatus (Fab.), which he intends to figure, as he considers it not 
recognizable from Douche’s plate. 
Sharp (Ent. Mo. Mag. vi. p. 107) refers to British specimens of Otto- 
rhynchus fuscipes (Walton), and thinks it probable they are the same as 
Olivier’s and Stierlin’s. Rye comments upon this (p. 108). Smith (/. c. 
p. 136) considers Walton’s fuscipes distinct from Olivier’s, and names it 
waltoni, identifying it, however, with (Chevr.), a recognized form of 
fuscipes (Oliv.). 
V. IIeydbn (Berl. ent. Zeit. xiii. p. 68) reproduces Frivaldszky’s descrip- 
tion of Omias hanahii (Abh. d. ungar. Acad. 1866, p. 205, t. xi. fig. 7), — a •’ 
true Omias, according to Soidlitz. 
Gautier des Cottes (Mittheil. schweiz. entom. Gesellsch. Hi. p. 161) 
complains that Seidlitz, though in possession of a type of his Omias tricho-- 
pterus, has ignored that name and redescribed the species as Barypeithes 
violafMs, under the pretext that the insect is not recognizable from des 
Cottes’s prior description. 
Pascoe (Ent. Monthly Mag. vi. pp. 99-106) describes new genera and 
species from Australia, allied to Pcritelus and Myllocerus. Ho tabulates these 
genera and gives figures of their chief diagnostic characters (p. 100), and 
also tabulates (p. 103) nine new species of Myllocerus. According to him 
Peritelus schonherri (Stierl.) should be separated from Peritelus, on account of 
its free claws. 
De Marseul (L’Abeille, vi. p. 154, note) notes the existence of two 
species named Phylhhius irroratus — one (Boh.) published in 1843, the other 
(Seidl.) in 1867. 
New genera : — 
Dyslohus, g. n., Leconte (Ann. & Mag. of Nat. Hist. 4th ser. iv. p. 380). 
Allied to Otiorhynclius, but with eyes narrowed and angulated beneath, less 
elongate scape to the antennae, and ciliated postocular thoracic lobes. Sp. 
jD. segnis (Lee., Otiorhynclius olim) ; J), granicollis, sp. n., Lee. ibid., Van- 
couver’s Island and Puget Sound j D. decoratus, sp. n., Lee. 1. c. p. 381^ 
Vancouver’s Island.
