532 notes ON Cestrinus and allied genera. 



Cestrinus Er., is a totally different insect and must be removed 

 from the Australian list. It is in fact the New Zealand srpecies 

 Pseudopatrum tubereulicostatum White. 3Iitua Hope has pre- 

 cedence over Pseudopatrum (Sharp) but bidwelli must sink to 

 White's name. That this synonymy was known to Miedel about 

 40 years ago is proved by specimens in Bates's, collection bearing 

 labels u Mitua tubereulicostatum White (Bidwelli Hope)" in his 

 handwriting, but the fact has never been published. 



Apatelus Iwpei Muls. is unknown to me except by description. 

 It is probably a Cestrinus; it is described as having the alternate 

 intervals of the elytra a little raised .
