 velutinus, Meij., Nov. Guin. Results, v, 79 {1906). Papua. 



N .B. — These genera Syneches, Epiceia and Harpamerus do not 

 appeal to me with sufficient clearness for me to be sure of their va- 

 lidity, and therefore the following new species must be regarded as 

 belonging to Syneches, sensii lato. Of these inaeqimlis has slightly 

 incrassated towards the tip, but much lengthened hind femora, 

 and is certainly a true Syneches, sensii stricto, whilst insignis has 

 the femora thickened throughout their length, and also belongs to 

 this section. 



Note on Syncches bigoti, Bezzi. 



Bigot's original name for this species was Pterospilus bicolor, 

 but through Walker's Hybos bicolor being now referred to Syneches, 

 the name has had to be altered.
