species, from his own collection and that of Castelnau. The species 
described by the latter under Harpalus are, with 5 exceptions, Aniso- 
dactylides ; of these 6, 3 are Feroniides, the 4th a Stenolophus, and the 
last doubtful. JET. promptas, Er., is a Bradyccllus., 
Acinopus ammophilus. On its economy; J. Frivaldszky, Term, fiizetek, 
ii. pp. 60 & 61. 
Harpalus cephalotes, Fairm., is not a var. of ruficornis^ but a true 
Ophonus and distinct; L. Bedel, Bull. Soc. Ent. Fr. (5) viii. p. ix. 
Selenophorus. J. Putzeys, S. E. Z. xxxix. pp. 1-73, describes the 
American species, of which he recognizes 112 (many new). The majority 
of the characters are also found in other groups of the family, and no 
definite conclusion is arrived at as to the generic status or position. 
Synonymy is given, including the following: S. lineato-punctatus,!)^:].^ 
= alternans, Dej. ; S. ceneo-cupreuSt Dej., = heauvoisi^ Dej. ; S. puberulus, 
Putz., renamed p. 69.

Syllectus, Bates, Ent. M. M. xiv. p. 191. An anomalous antarctic form
