I inay hère point ont tliat M r Banks is incorrect in his synonimy. 

 Stâl did not refer to Odonia truncata (1870) but to Eumenotes 

 obscura, and the saint 1 remark applies to his citation of my identifica- 

 tion in the British [ndian enumeration. It may naturally be asked 

 why 1 do not now décide the question? 1 await more material; my 

 collection now only contains one spécimen, some other rhynchotisl 

 may he in a better position and thus be able to throw more light 

 on lliis tangle. 



The position of the genus Eumenotes is also sub judice. M r Banks 

 says Bergroth lias again placed the genus in its proper position 

 amongsl I he Tessaratominae ». But it was never placed there before ! 

 Westwood located it near Megymenum in the Dinidorinse and Stâl 

 «lui the same (1), which appears its propér location, though Ber- 

 groth now suggests that it forms a distinct subfamily of the ïessa 

 ratominae. 



(1) Bkrgroth (Deutsch. Ent. Zeitschr. 1907, p. 499) says that Stâl did notknow 

 this species « iu natura », but in tins he is incorrect, as Stâl (1870), distinctly 

 refers to the tarsi wheu enuraerating the species iu the Philippine fauna.
