Anthicus exiguus, P.L.S.KS.W. (2). ix. 1894, p. 616. 



This name having been used by Mr. Champion for an American 

 species, I propose to alter the name of the Australian species to 

 rubi'icejjs. 



MoRDELLA Watbrhousei, P.L.S.KS.W. (2), X. 1895, p. 300. 



As Mr. Champion (Trans. Ent. Soc. 1895, p. 267) has sub- 

 stituted the name of Waterhousei for ohliqua, Waterh., my name 

 must fall; I therefore propose to alter the name of the Australian 

 species to Caroli.
