Differs from E. generosus Stâl by shorter head, distinctly punc- 

 tate broadly strainineous apical part of scutellum, much longer 

 ventral furrow, etc. The type, communicated by Mr. Banks, bears 

 thenumber 13,031. 



3. Mr. Banks bas sent me a spécimen of the insect recorded and 

 figured by him (Philipp. Journ. Se. IV, p. 560, pi. II, fig, 9) under 

 the name Dalpuda tagalica StAl. It is not tagalka, but D. aspersa 

 Am. s. of a différent group of the genus, characterized by tumid, 

 invi^ardly strongly bisulcated pronolal latéral angles. 



4. Apines grisea C. Banks, of which Mr. Banks sent me a 

 type, is not an Apines, but belongs to the genus Menida Motscii., 

 being closely related to some other species of the genus. 



ARADID^ 



5. In Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1911, p. 597 Distant says : « Barci- 

 nus is allied to the genus recently proposed by Banks, ^can^/mradus 

 [not Acantharades as Distant repeatedly calls it]. It therefore seems 

 strange that Bergrotii should say that Acantharadus was very 

 closely allied to the neotropical genus Dysodius. » Had Distant
