ZOOLOGICAL LITERATURE. 
Stephanocleomis gaditanua, Chevr. 1. c. p. 76, South of Spain (z=I^agtogra~ 
phus amori, Mars, teste Ohevr. /. c. p. 125, and Pet. nouv. Ent. no. 5) j 
S, ? (Plagiographus) saintpi^i'ei, Ohevr. ihid., Oran. 
Bothynoderea luscus, Chev. 1. c. p. 77, Carthagena. 
Hylobiides. 
Lepyrus hinotatus is recorded as British by Black (Ent. Mo. Mag. vi. p. 86). 
Bye figures it in frontisp. to Entom. Annual for 1870, fig. 7. 
Smith (Proc. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1869, p. xvi) records Pissodes notatus from 
the south of England (Bournemouth). 
Walsh and Riley (Amer. Entom. ii, p. 26) refer to the habits and figure 
the principal stages of Pissodes strobi (Peck). 
Erirhinides. 
Bethe (Stettin, ent. Zeit. 1869, p. 426) notes his astonishment (very 
natui’ally) at finding two specimens of Erirhinus infirmus (Hbst.) in the in- 
terior of Pachyscelis granulosa (Latr.), one of the Pimelidce. He rightly 
justifies his astonishment by remarking that the Erirhinidce live usually in 
the stems and roots of water-plants. 
Bagous inceratus (Gryll.) is recorded as British by Rye (Ent. Mo. Mag. vi. 
p. 6), who figures it in frontisp. to Entom. Annual, 1870, fig. 6. 
Acrisius, g. n., Desbrochers des Loges, Ann. Soc. Ent. Er. 4® sdr. ix. 
p. 395. Eyes small, subconcave, situate very little before the base of the 
rostrum (instead of on the sides, as in Plinthus) and separated by less than 
their greatest diameter. Comes next to Auheonymus (Duv.), its representa- 
tive having much the fonn of Auh. carinicollis (Lucas). Sp. A. kozioroiviczi, 
Desb. des Loges, 1. c. p. 396, Corsica (Ajaccio). 
Apionides. 
Bethe (Stettin, ent. Zeit. 1869, p. 373) redescribes Apion steveni (Gyll., 
Schon.), which ho states to bo a perfectly good species, and not a var. of 
Jlavifemoratum (Ilbst.), of which it is considered a synonym by Do Marseul, 
Wencker and Stein. Des Logos (Pet. nouv. Eut. no. 10) expresses himself 
to the same effect. 
Rye (Entom. Monthly Mag. v. p. 276) draws attention to Apion so'ohi- 
colie (Gyll.), originally described from Britain, but apparently unknown to 
British or Continental entomologists. 
Desbrochers des Loges (Pet. nouv. Ent. no. 10) notices omissions, 
misplacements, and errors of synonymy in Stein’s Catalogue, as regards 
Apion. According to him, A. cyanescens (Gyll,)=jom (Fab.)j A. plumbeo- 
micans (W enck.) = angustatum (Kirby) ; A. decorum andH. marqueti (Wenck.) 
=^jimiperi (Boh.). 
Becker (Horse Soc. Ent. Rossicae, vi. p. 108) records Apion artemisicB 
(Moraw.) from Sarepta on Statiee caspica^ which appears to be its true food- 
plant. 
Apion heydenij sp. n., Pet. nouv. Ent. no. 8, 15 Oct. 1869, anon., but pre- 
sumably on the part of Desbrochers des Loges, who subsequently (/. c. 
no. 12) changes the specific name to cantabricus (sic) j A. distinctirostre , 
sp. n., Desb. des Loges, 1. c. no. 8 (no locality given).
