bear on my work which is to appear in the Fauna of British 

 India or on any other special investigation now in hand. These 

 are brought together in the present paper with the object of 

 adding to the still somewhat scanty knowledge we possess of 



this important and interesting group of insects. 



V 



Genus ZONABRIS Har. 



The following notices of species are from examination of 

 types or authentic specimens : 



Zonabris hauseri and Z. lucens are distinct species; lucens 

 can be told from hauseri by its longer fourth article of the an- 

 tenna and its dark elytral apex. 



Z. cm.r var. opulcntus. This form should be considered as a 

 variety of lucens and not of crux. 



Z. elegantissimus var. connuens. This is merely a slight color 

 variation. 



Z fasciculata Esch. This is a good species, near macu- 

 lata, '01. 



Z. subsplendidula Rtt. and Z. staudingen Hdn. are both va- 

 rieties of Z. splendidula Pall. 



Z. frolovi, Z. intermedia and Z. konigi are color variations 

 of the same species. 



Z. humcrosa, Z. chodshentica, Z. scabiosae and Z. euphra- 

 tica are all varieties of the same species based on differences of 

 the elytral pattern. 



Z. bertrandi Cast. = Z. ustulata Reiche. 



Z. dicincta Bert. = Z. bizonata Gerst. 



Z. (Caryna) postJiuma Mars, is a variety o'frM. (C.} mi.vta 

 Mars. 



Genus ELETICA F. 

 Eletica maerens Per. = E. rufa F. var. 



E. rufa F. var. grandiceps n. var. 



Brown, smaller than typical forms, structural characters as in rufa 

 except that the head is proportionately very much larger than in 

 normal specimens. 



"Africa." 



There is a specimen in the British Museum.
