I 



BY THE REV. T. BLACKBURN. 789 



that name, — unfortunately Thomson's " Tyi5. Bupr. App. I." in 

 which " inconsistans " was described escaped notice by some 

 accident in the Zoological Record for some years, and also escaped 

 the notice of Mr. INIasters in his " Cat. of the described Coleoptera 

 of Australia." I imagined myself safe in adopting the MS. name 

 attached to the specimen in question, — but now having obtained 

 M. Thomson's paper I am satisfied that the two are identical. 

 " Inconsians" is of course the more correct form, but *Hnconsistans" 

 appears to have been the originally published one. 



Stigmodera prenchi, Blackb. 



This species, described by me in the Trans. Roy. Soc. S.A. 1890, 

 (p. 150) is evidently identical with *S'. prcecellens, Kerremans (C. R, 

 Soc. Ent. Belg.), described in a memoir read on Sept. 6, 1890. 

 The question of priority will depend of course on the date of 

 publication of the respective memoirs. The Vol. of the Trans- 

 actions of the Royal Society S.A., containing my memoir was 

 l)ublished a few days ago (December, 1890). As far as I know 

 the Vol. of the Ent. Soc. Belg. for 1890 has not yet (Jan. 1891) 

 been published. 



LONGICORNES. 



Anatisis. 



The fine species described below may I think be attributed to 

 this genus, although its head is slightly more elongate and its 

 mesosternum somewhat narrower than the corresponding parts in 

 A. laminosus, Newm., and its antennae with a series of short 

 external as well as long internal branches, and an additional joint 

 at the apex of the 11th joint slightly longer than and of similar 

 form to the internal branch of the 11th joint, might perhaps 

 justify the creation of a new generic name. This species has the 

 fades (apart from the antennse), style of colouring, pubescence, &c. 

 of a Strotigylurus.
