 Picromerus oUusus, Walk. (Vol. i, p. 252, fig. 159). 



The unlocalized species described by Dallas as Canthecona 

 grisea must take priority in nomenclature over that of AValker. 



ANDRALLUS to replace Audinetia. (Vol. I, p. 252.) 



The (^enevic name Amlinetia having recently been found to be 

 preoceu'pied, Bergroth (Ann. Soc. Eat. Belg. xlix, p. 370 (190G)), 

 has proposed Andrallus as a substitute, and this must now be 

 used.
