THE LAMELLICORNS OF OLIVIER. 23 



name in his work to aulica, which Fabricius in his l Sys- 

 tema Eleut.' had converted into aulicola. 



Sp. 67. gibba. Now a Trochala of Laporte. Vide three new 

 species of this genus described in the ' Suite de Buffon, 

 Hist. Nat. (Articules), par Laporte de Castelneau, p. 149, 

 vol. ii. 



Sp. 68. versicolor. In my 'Manual' I have given this species 

 as a Serica, ML.; it may however belong to the genus Tro- 

 chalas, Laporte. 



Sp. 69. variabilis. The localities of North America and Ger- 

 many are given to this insect : probably more than one 

 species is included under the name. 



Sp. 73. Zebra. This insect is the type of Strepsipher, G. P. 

 No locality is mentioned by Fabricius ; Olivier mentions 

 South America as its country, which is erroneous : I have 

 frequently received it from the Cape of Good Hope. Ceto- 

 nia vittata, Fabr., is the Mel. Zebra of Olivier. 



Sp. 74. vittata. Now a Glaphyrus of Latreille. I have late- 

 ly received it from Persia. 



Sp. 75 & 76. These insects are the different sexes of the 

 same species ; the former is the male and the latter the fe- 

 male of Amphicoma vulpes, Fabr. 



Sp. 77. crinita. According to Olivier Fabricius cites (Pallas 

 'Ins. Siber.' tab. a, Jig. 17), Scarabwus bombyliformis, as 

 Mel. crinita ; the former author thinks that the insect de- 

 scribed by Pallas is distinct. 



Sp. 81 . proboscidea. Olivier states that this species occurs 

 in Asia and Africa ; I am disposed to think it peculiar to 

 the East Indies. 



Sp. 82. limbata. No locality is mentioned in Olivier, it is 

 undoubtedly frOm the Cape, and the type of the genus Age- 

 nius of Serville. 



Sp. 83. praticola. Olivier' s figure would lead one to believe 

 that praticola was an Anisoplia, according to Illiger it is 

 an Hoplia. 



Sp. 88. regia. This species was named regia by Fabricius ; 

 the Linnaean name aulica should be adopted, as previously 

 used by that author. It occurs in Spain and Barbary, from 

 whence I have received it. 



Sp. 96. marginata. I am totally unacquainted with this in- 

 sect. I give it as an Hoplia ; without a doubt its loca- 

 lity, according to Badier, is Guadaloupe. 



Sp. 98. atomaria. M. le Baron DeJean in his catalogue, 

 gives the generic name of Gymnoloma to this insect. As I 

 am not aware of the characters being published I purposely 

 refrain from adopting it. Any future entomologist who 

 chooses to publish the details, is entitled to name it. Ma-
