SYNONYMICAL REMARKS ABOUT TWO SPECIES 



OF LONGICORN COLEOPTERA IN THE 



COLLECTIONS OF THE LEYDEN MUSEUM. 



BY 



C. RITSEMA Cz. 



1. Megacriodes eheninus Voll. {Tijdschr. v. Entom. XIV 

 (1871). p. Ill; pi. 5, fig. 11) z= Batocera Roylii Hope 

 [Trans. Zool. Soc. London. I (1835). p. 103; pi. 15, fig. 1). 



N.B. The specimens from New Holland considered by the 

 late Dr. Snellen van Vollenhoven [L c. p. 215, n° 14) as 

 belonging to Batocera Roylii Hope have nothing to do 

 with the true Roylii. Perhaps they will prove to belong 

 to a variety of Batocera Boisduvalii Hope. 



2. Megacriodes guttatus Voll. {I. c. p. 110; pi. 5, fig. 

 10) =r Batocera octomaculata Thorns, nee. Fabr. (Thom- 

 son , Arc. Nat. (1859). p. 76, n° 14). 



N.B. In the Revue et Magasin de Zoölogie for 1878 

 (p. 54) Mr. Thomson rectifies his determination and changes 

 the name of the species which was regarded by him 

 as that of Fabricius to Fabrien. This change of name 

 however was superfluous since the species had been descri- 

 bed anew under the above mentioned name by the late Dr. 

 Snellen van Vollenhoven.
