Leisoma, and gave details and drawings of the mandi- 

 bles as a reason for creating the genus Serrariits to 

 receive it. 



Ceplieus latus (p. 295). — Having found a larger 

 number of specimens of this species since the publica- 

 tion of vol. i of this work, it has been noticed that 

 there are two tolerably large rod-like hairs, one on 

 each side, springing from the inner side of the lamella 

 itself and slanting forward and upward; these may 

 probably represent the interlamellar hairs, although 

 the position would be very unusual. 



Scutovertex sculptus (p. 299). — Berlese, in his ' Acari, 

 &c. Ital.,' fasc. XXXV, N. 7, gives this species as a 

 synonym of Ceplieus ovalis^ Koch, which he calls 

 Eremceus ovalis, and gives Ceplieus minutus, Koch, as 

 another synonym. I should almost fancy that there 

 must be some accidental confusion in this, as Gepheus 

 ovalis, Koch, does not appear to have any of the essen- 

 tial characteristics of the Scutovertex, and Berlese's 

 description and figure, although possibly more like 

 S. sculptus than like Koch's G. ovalis, are not either 

 the one or the other if they be correct. 



Tegeocramis coriaceus (p. 3 16) .^Berlese's Gar abodes 

 coriaceus, 'Acari, &c. Ital.,' fasc. xxxiii, is not Koch's 

 coriaceus, but is my Tegeocranus marginatus, a very 

 different creature. 



Tegeocranus marginatus (p. 322). — I find that there 

 are interlamellar hairs in this species, but they are 

 caducent, they are rod-like, and somewhat rough at the 

 ends. 



Inside the wrapper of fasc. xiv of ' Acari, &c. Ital.,' 

 by Prof. Berlese, is stuck a small piece of paper, at 

 the foot of which the words "Acari novi, 1884," are 

 engraved. On this paper are five rough sketches, one 

 of which is called " Garabodes asperulus ;'^ it may be 

 intended for Tegeocranus marginatus.
