191. TilluH picipennis White, B. M. Cat., from India, is the cos- 

 mopolitan Tausostenus univittatus. 



192. Hydnocera rufipes Newra. is a beautiful blue species, of 

 the same form as iiumeralis, with the elytra very coarsely but 

 not densel}^ punctured, mouth, antennae, and legs bright reddish- 

 3-ellow. 



193. H. iEQRA Newm. Quite distinct from an}- species in our 

 collections. The protliorax is narrowed behind, constricted at 

 each end ; el^'tra shining, strongly' punctured. 



194. Driamerls Solier from Chili resembles strouglj' and is 

 perhaps congeneric with Melyris cribratus Lee. 



195. The Australian genus Omma Newm. is evidentl}- allied to 

 CuPES, especially to C serrata Lee, and is one of those curious 

 examples of geographical distribution, of which we have already' 

 instances in Derataphrus, Nyctoporis, and Tmesiphorus. A 

 species of Cupes occurs in Japan, which, on the other hand, re- 

 sembles C. CONCOLOR from the Atlantic States. 



19G. Stagetus Wollaston should be compared with Protheca 

 Lee. Tlie resemblances between the Coleopterous fauna of Xorth 

 America and the Atlantic Islands are neither few nor unim- 

 portant. 



197. Lebasiella pallipes King is JiigrijDennis Lee, a Mexican 

 species to be stricken from the list. 



198. Nyctipetus. One of the most extraordinary instances that 

 I have noticed, of resemblance whicli, if connected by geographi- 

 cal coincidence, would be termed mimicr}', is between a Cliilian 

 species of this genus, living in arid plains, and Amphizoa Le- 

 coNTEi Matthews, a subaquatic adephage found in Vancouver and 

 Utah. 



199. Emeax sculpturatus Pascoe, from Australia, is a species 

 of Nyctoporis, barelj^ different from N. galeata Lee, which is 

 found at San Diego, California, by the humeri heingnof denlij'orin, 

 though the hind angles of the prothorax are rectangular and 

 prominent. 



200. P]leodes tuberculata Mann, is viator Lee. 



201. Eleodes subluberculata "Walker is granulata Lee. 



202. E. latiuscula Walker is humeralis Lee. 



203. E. binotata Walker is sponsa Lee. 



204. E. conjnnefa and conveoricoUis Walker are obscura (Say). 



205. Exercstus liates is Khinaxdrus Lee. (1862): E. Janaoni 

 Bates is K. elongatus Horn, from Nicaragua.
