+ It is for the same reason that I was compelled to alter the name of the 
Meligethes Isoplexidis (vide supra, p. 40) that I feel called upon, now, to change 
the title of this elegant Longitarsus. The unfortunate mistake into which I fell 
regarding the plant to which both of these insects are attached, and to which my 
attention has been lately called by Mr. Mason, must be my excuse for the present 
unavoidable alteration m their nomenclature. I have consequently dedicated the 
above truly indigenous, and very beautiful, species to the detector of my botanical 
error.
