Genus OPISTHOPLATYS. (Vol. 11, p. 2'2\.) 



In the generic characters of this genus as previously given 

 {supra), it was staled " first joint of rostrum extending behind 

 eyes." This though undoubtedly true of the species previously 

 enumerated is not a character that is generically constant, as is 

 evident from the description subsequently given of 0. cornutus. 



Opisthoplatys majusculus. (Vol. 1], p. 221.) 



8ince describing this species 1 have seen many examples from 

 different localities. It appears to vary only in size and this it 

 does to a considerable extent, the smaller individuals being only 

 10^ millim. in length. 



Length 10|-lt5 "millim.
