1) Loew, Revision etc. p. 71 says that Bigot calls a cf the spe- 

 cimen which he describes and figures, whereas in the figure it appears 

 to be a Q . I have hesitated to accept this conjectiire in my f'ormer 

 paper (1891), but since the cf is found, it proves to be correct. The 

 specimen from Cyprus, in Bellardis coUection (O.S, 1878, p. 411), at 

 present in the Turin Museum, has been examiiied by Prof. G. Tos at my 

 request. He kindly informed me that he had compared it with Bigot 's 

 description and found it to agree perfectiy; except that the surface of 

 the thorax is velvet-black, and not orange (just as I stated it in 1878). 

 The abdomen is broken off so that the sex could not be ascertaiued; 

 the antennae also broken, except the scapus. Palpi vvere not visible.
