The description of Batobius was overlooked by me when dealing 

 with this genus, owing to its having been referred to Oedemeridae, 

 where I should not have thought of searching for it. The authors, 

 however, state that Batobius approaches the Pythidae in the fonn of 

 the antennae, coxae, etc. The genus was placed by me in MeJandryidae, 

 under the section " Mycterina," and the affinities of the latter with 

 the Pythidae noted {cf. pp. IQl, 102). Three species were included 

 under Laccoderus, the type of which, L. chiletisis, is synonymous with 

 B. humilis P. and G., and in the Museum there are also specimens 

 from Chile, apparently referable to B. bicolor and B. ruficollis. The 

 corrected synonymy will be as follows: —
