224 GYMNETIS KERREMANSI. 



therefore my terms »cervina" and » fallow" had to mean 

 bluish-grey , therefore no attention has been paid to the 

 coloration of the elytra, which is very characteristic, each 

 elytron having in the middle a pale yellow large oval 

 spot surrounded by a mixture of ochraceous rufous-brown 

 and black , the latter colour even predominates. The gla- 

 brous parts of the underside and the legs , I described as 

 brilliant black with a strong purple-bronze hue, which is 

 also in contradiction with the figure in the Biologia , where 

 legs of a greenish colour are represented. 



I have added to these few words of friendly protest a 

 very satisfactory figure of G. Kerremansiy which certainly 

 will assist to remove all doubts better than a long de- 

 scription would be able to do. As to the species figured 

 by Mr. Bates , I think to make no mistake in supposing 

 that it will prove to be referable to G. Wollastonii Schaum 

 (Trans. Ent. Soc, London. V (1848), p. 66; pi. 8, fig. 3), 

 a Mexican species not recorded in the „Biologia". 



Rectification. According to a lapsus calami, I have com- 

 pared Moscheuma sebosum v. d. Poll (described in the same 

 paper as Gymnetis Kerremansi) , at the end of the descrip- 

 tion with M. costatum Oliv. , a species which does not 

 exist. Olivier's well-known species has been described un- 

 der the name of Cetonia lobata.
