DE MARSEUL (Ann. E. Belg. xiii. p. 65 et seq.) reproduces the descriptions of
certain species by Motschulsky (Bull. Mose 1863), Leconte (New Spec, of Col.
1863), and Kirsch (B.E.Z. 1866), also Perroud's description of Platysoma montrouzieri
(for which he proposes the name perroudi, if it be distinct from the
closely allied Apobletes montrouzieri). P. ceylonicum, Mots, = motschulskyi,
Mars.; P. semistriatum, Mots, = birmannum, Mars, see. typ.; P. marseuli,
Caud, = odiosum, Mars, with which dissimile, Mots, is also most probably
identical. Phelister afibiis, Lee, =solator, Mars. He redescribes Paromalus
parallelus (Lee), and justifies his change of that name to laterirectus; describes
(p. 112) Saprinus strobeli [under his own name, instead of that of Steinheil,
who first published it]; gives a synoptical table, with localities, of the
known spp. of Paromalus (pp. 103-108); and, pp. 126-136, a supplement to
his own Cat. of Histeridce, published in Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr., Nov. 1862.
