öö OENUS EUPHOLUS. 



D. Elytra covered all over with scales, without naked 

 hands or spots.

Judging from the material which I have before me, 

 three of these species must however be suppressed as being 

 synonymous , viz : 



Aurifer Voll. i) {\^M) = Petitii Guer. (1841). 

 Bandanus Voll. (1871) = Xi72nei Thoms. (1857). 

 Latreillei Barsch (1877) = Quinque-fasciatus Chevr. (1877), 

 whereas , as I believe , several others can only be considered 

 as varieties. 



So for example Petitii and Quinque-fasciatus (perhaps 

 even Magnificus) may prove to be varieties of Schcenherrii, 

 Tupinierii (with its supposed varieties Arfaki and Celebesus) 

 a variety of Geoffroyi, etc. 



A serious study of the species of this genus which seem 

 to be quite as variable as they are beautiful , may be re- 

 commended to an entomologist who has extensive series of 

 the different species at his disposal.
