LONGICORN COLEOPTERA FROM BURMA 55 



Coptops aedificator, Fabr. is sometimes known under the name 

 of hidens, Fabr., with which it is phiced as a synonym in the 

 Catalogue of Gemminger & Marold. But the characters of Lamia 

 bideiis, Fabr. — « ihorace acute-spinoso. Elytris apice bidentatis » 

 — show that this species does not even belong to the genus 

 Coptops. The mistake probably arose from the fact that a spe- 

 cimen of C. aedificator in the Banksian Cabinet is erroneously 

 ticketed Lamia bidens, Fabr. To this specimen there is an addi- 

 tional label attached, bearing the words « an bidens Fabricii? ». 

 The actual type of tlie species appears to have been lost.
