ON CERTAIN STEPHANIDiE. 



By Ernest A. Elliott. 



Parastephanelhis ruhripictus, nov. nom, 



Ix the 'Arch. Naturg.,' Ixvii, 1901, p. 196, Dr. Enderlein 

 described both sexes of a species of Parasteplianellus from 

 Milne Bay, the Bismarck Archipelago, and Borneo, which he 

 considered identical with P. damellicus, Westw., and states that 

 the description agrees completely.* 



An examination of these descriptions reveals striking 

 differences, which quite preclude all idea of the two being 

 varieties of the same species.
