(Camptolynx) Syrites ? quadrispinosus (Cameron). 
Berl. ent. Zeit. 55 (1910) 253, male. 
The status of this species is discussed under the next pre- 
ceding. 
(Camptolynx) Syrites striatus (Cameron). 
Berl. ent. Zeit. 55 (1910) 254, female. 
Regardless of whether or not Camptolyna is synonymous with 
Syrites there can, I think, be no doubt that this Ceylonese species 
is a Syrites although a comparison of the descriptions of this 
and S. quadrispinosus almost leads to the conviction that they 
are the sexes of the same species. 
(Camptolynx) Syrites froggatti (Turner). 
Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. IX 4 (1919) 41, female and male. 
In having the hind as well as the front wings banded this 
Australian species is apparently distinct from all of the others. 
(Camptolynx) Syrites ruficornis (Turner). 
Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. IX 4 (1919) 42, female. 
The entirely black thorax and propodeum, unusual in the 
female, renders this species very distinct. It is from Australia.

In spite of its broken nervellus and complete notauli, and in 
spite of the fact that the clypeus and mandibles do not agree 
with Foerster’s description, Ashmead placed the unique type 
of metathoracica in Astomaspis, to which genus it was the 
first species referred. Because of these disagreements with 
the original description it cannot be the genotype of Astomaspis. 
Nor is it at all closely related to the accepted genotype, Astomas- 
pis nanus (Gravenhorst), first assigned to the genus in 1910 
by Roman. 
On the page following the description of metathoracica 
Ashmead described another specimen, of the same species, as 
Bathythriz striatus, placing it in that genus despite its obvious 
disagreement with the genotype, Bathythrix meteor Howard, 
the type specimen of which was in the collection over which he
