must remain in doubt, as it has not been possible to refer to the paper 

 (Mem. Acad. Sc. Petrograd, xxviii. No. 7) in which the name 

 appeared. 



The names of two other species [trianguligera Zett. and sororctila 

 Zett.) are to be found in VerralFs 'List' — both apparently hrst 

 recorded as British by Meade. The specimens upon which the records 

 were founded have not been examined, but whatev^er they may be the 

 names used by Meade cannot stand, for, according to Ringdahl, the types 

 of both these species are represented in Zetterstedt's Collection by a 

 mixture of described species already in the British List — trianc/uligera 

 by specimens of contractifrons and hrunneisquama, and sororcula by 

 hrimneisqimma, humilis, and contractifrons. 



Finally, while this memoir was passing through the press, it has 

 been pointed out to me by Mr. J. E. Malloch, of the U.S.A. Department 

 of Entomology, that the characters made use of by me for the differen- 

 tiation of Ijimnopliora sens, strict, had been independently discovered 

 by him and made public in papers published in America.

5 . Much more rugose than any other known species of the genus. 

 Antennae distinctly shorter than the head and pronotuin together, slightly 

 flattened, and basally somewhat dilated. Face feebly but distinctly reclinate. 

 Frontal ridge in profde straight, between the antennae flat, in the rest 

 shallowly sulcate, flnely and remotely punctm'ed; its margins straight, feebly 

 and gi'adually divergent downwards, reaching the elypeus, fairly thick, smooth, 

 with a few scattered punctures. Fastigium of the veilex ahnost horizontal, 

 forming a distinct, though rounded, angle with the frontal ridge, twice as long 

 as broad, with the apex obtusely triangular, with distinct subparallel lateral 

 carinae and a feeble median carinula reaching tlie occiput, but not extending 

 into it; distinct upper temporal foveolae, extending from the ej'es to the fore 

 lateral angles of the fastigium, triangular in form, a little longer than at the 

 base broad ; the surface of the fastigium scarcely compressed, with a few 

 punctures near the apex. Eyes round, scarcely higher than they are long. 

 Face, occiput, and cheeks smooth, but not shining. Pronotum slightly 

 narrowed anteriorh^, but without constriction, strongly coriaceous all over, 

 its disc practically flat, with the transverse sulci feeble and irregular: meta- 

 zona less than one half of the length of the jirozoiia ; the median keel in the 

 prozona distinctly raised, straight; in the metazona lower and irregular; the
