L. hirticeps Lee. does not differ from vilifrons. 

 „ nitida Lee. Of this I have seen two 9 specimens, while possi- 

 bly a valid species it may be an anomalous fusca. 

 L. riifiula Lee. is comans Burm. 

 robusta Lee. is crassissima Bl. 



integra Lee. This name is preoccupied, clypeata is suggested 

 instead. 



crenulata Frohl. and albino, Burm. correctly determined. 

 parvidens Lee. and rubiginosa Lee. valid species. 

 submucida Lee. and glabricula Lee. valid species. 

 glabripennis Lee. is crinita Burm. 

 iristis Fab. correctly determined. 

 crinita % Lee. is a race of tristis Fab. 

 debilis Lee. (Gynnis, ) is dispar Burm. 

 errans Lee. a valid species. 



maculicollis Lee. and nitidula Lee. are good species and consti- 

 tute a special division. 

 A few other species have been described but these do not affect 

 synonymy and are left for a fuller bibliography. 



From what precedes it may be scarcely necessary to say that my 

 work on a monograph of the species has fairly begun and has progressed 

 so far that the species are well separated and the synoptic tables prepared 

 subject to such modification as may be found necessary when descriptions 

 are written. 



While I must frankly admit that I do care to be interrupted in the 

 work of writing descriptions of about eighty species, I am perfectly 

 willing to return the names to any one who will send carefully compared 

 duplicates of any species, preferably both sexes. I cannot at present 

 consent to receive any which must be returned. 



Some Additional Synonymy. 



Agrilus iexanas Crotch, on comparison this species proves to be 

 cavata Chev. 



Cvmatodera fallax Horn, is balieata Lee. My error resulted from an 

 accidental change of label in the Leconte collection. 



Trox foveicollis Har. , is insularis Chev.
