At hrst sight apparently belonging to .Y. sohriniia, but elytra 

 with extremely short and depressed, but rather dense pulie.scence, a 

 charactei- which will readily distinguish it from all others of the 

 genus. In sohrinus the cephalic tubercle, when viewed from behind, 

 appears as if with elevated points at each end; in the present 

 species it appears single, and flat-topped, or gently convex. Dr. 

 Ferguson sent seven specimens for examination, but they are all 

 males. 



Dasi/tes hlackhurni, new name; helmsi Blackb., ii.pr.

 helmsi having been previously used for a Xew Zealand species.

Dasyteii jtdesi, new name; boitrr/eo/si. Lea. n.pr.

The type of this species has apparently disappeared. It should be 

 in tlie Banks' collection, now in the British Museum; but Mr. G. J. 

 Arrow informed me that it was not there now, " and was apparently 

 not there when the collection came to us."
