C. latus, p. 471, N. S. Wales, Victoria. [N.B. The author at p. 478 tabulates
the leading generic characters of Chceteetetorus and allies. ]
Cryptorhynchus stigmaticus, p. 481, Queensland.
Zygopides.
Macrobamon, ha.c., = Odoacis, Pasc.: Pascoe, Tr. E. Soc. 1870, p. 211.
Chirozetes, g. n, Pascoe, P. L. S. x. p. 447. Distinguished from Mecopus
by the comparatively wide separation of the ant. coxae; propectus deeply
and narrowly excavated, bicornute (in cf). Sp. C. pectorosus, sp. n, Pasc.
ibid. pi. xvii. f. 9, Cambodia (cf. ibid. p. 473, note).
Hedycera, g. n, Pascoe, I. c. p. 457. Related, not very distantly, to Piazurus,
but with the metathoracic episterna interposed between the post, coxae
and elytra. Sp. H megamera, sp. n, Pasc. ibid. pi. xviii. f. 11, Cayenne.
Agametis, g. n, Pascoe, 1. c. p. 473. Distinguished from Mecopus, Chirozetes,
and Macrobamon by the similarity of the sexes; approaches Copturus
in the position of its antennae and more normal ant. legs. Sp. A. festiva,
sp. n, Pasc. I. c. p. 474, pi. xix. f. 5, Sarawak, Amboyna, &c.
Telephae, g. n, Pascoe, I. c. p. 487. Renders a division of Lacordaire's Old-
World Zygopides necessary, as it agrees with the Mecopus group in its very
broad metathoracic episterna, but conforms to the New-World spp. in its 6jointed
funiculus and ascending mesothoracic epimera. Sp. T. laticollis, sp. n,
Pasc. ibid. pi. xix. f. 9, Macassar.

RUPERTSBERGER (Verh. z.-b. Ges. Wien, xx. p. 837) describes the larva
of Caliodes fuliginosus (Marsh.) from Papavev somniferum, and the larva and
pupa of Ceutliorhijnchiis robertii, Sch, from Bhaphanus rhaphanistrum, with
general observations on both spp.
Muller (Ent. M. M. vii. p. 37) records some observations supposed to indicate
an approach to reflection in Ceuthorhynehus sulcicollis (Gyll.).
The larva of Ceuthorhynehus lycopi lives in the roots of Mentha sykestris as
well as of Lycopus europeeus. Perris (L'Ab. vii. p. 37).
Injuries to turnip-roots caused by Ceuthorhynehus contractus are recorded
by Cordeaux (Ent. 76, p. 60).
Ceuthorhynehus sulcicollis (Gyll.) = pleurostigma (Marsham); C. cyetnipennis
(Gyll.) = sulcicollis (Payk.) : Thorns, Sk. Col. x. p. 202.
Ceuthorhynehus vicinus, Bris., = tviangiilum (Mark, Schon.), teste Brisout:
Rye (Ent. M. M. vii. p. 36).

p. 347, Sweden; C. distinctus, sp. n, Ch. Bris, L'Ab. vii. p. 42, Pyrenees,
England. [Rye (Ent. M. M. vi. p. 228) considers this to be C. marginatus,
var, as he has a specimen with one funiculus 6- and the other 7-jointed.]
Mee-ysmoderes consularis, sp. n, Pascoe, I. e. p. 482, Formosa.
Baridiides.
Baridius atricolor, Sch.,=ionicus, Mill, var. major: H. Brisout (Ann.
Soc. Ent. Fr. 4 e se"r. x. p. 51), who names a minor var. turcicus; B. nitms
