2 22 [November, 



are specimens named by Dr. Le Conte in the British Museum (from 

 Elorida), whicli only measure two-twelfths of an inch. The small speci- 

 mens differ from the large one above described, in having the eyes less 

 prominent ; the head not immediately narrowed behind the eyes, but 

 having, as it were, rectangular cheeks ; the sides of the elytra less 

 suddenly deflexed, and the deflexed portion not bounded above by a 

 fine carina. 



In the event of the larger insect proving to be distinct from that 

 described by Dr. Le Conte, it may be convenient to designate it 

 Dejea7iii. 



I think that the following synonyms will be found correct :— 

 Cetptamoepha, "VVolL, 1854. 

 Pseudophanus, Le C, 1859. 

 Parahrontes, Redt., 1867. 



1. Desjardiiisii, Guer. (Psammoscus), 1844. 



suturalis, White {Dendrophagus) , 184G. 

 musce, Well. {Cryptamorpha), 1854. 

 signatus, Le C. (^Pseudophanus) , 1859. 

 fasciatits, Redt. {Telephanus'), 1867. 



2. brevicornis, White {Dendroplia gus) , 1846. 



silvcinoides, Redt. {Parahrontes), 1867. 



? umh'inus, Smith {Dendroph.'), 1851 (immature). 



With regard to Teleplianu,s fasciatiis, Redt., it must be observed 

 that I have placed it in the above synonyms with some hesitation. Red- 

 tenbacher was well aware that Telephanus should have securiform palpi, 

 which his T. fasciatus would not, if the above synonymy be correct. 

 On the other hand, he mentions the longitudinal furrows on the head, 

 a character well marked in Crgptamorpha, but not existing in any 

 Telephanus with which I am acquainted. 



Cetptamorpua fasciata, A\^o11., Ent. Mo. Mag., 1874. 



The description of this species agree perfectly with the type of 

 Monotoma concinnula, Walker, 1859. There are numerous specimens 

 of this insect in the Museum collection from Ceylon, Hong Kong, and 

 single examples from Java and Sierra Leone. 



I had formerly placed this insect with doubt with Telephanus ; it, 

 however, has not the palpi securiform (as they are in all the above 

 described species), and it is, therefore, better associated with Crgpta- 

 morpha, although I much object to placing it in this genus, as it wants 

 the strong longitudinal furrows ou each side of the head, Avhich is a 

 feature in the genus.
