SYNONYMiGAL NOTE ON TWO 

 GENTRAL-AMERIGAN SPEGIES OF GURGULIONlD/E 



by Gr.-C Clianipion. 



Two species of Curculionidfe hâve recently been renamed, one by 

 M. BoviE and the other by D'' IIeller ; but as thèse names are not 

 required, it is necessary to call attention to them. Their synonymy 

 will be as foUow : 



1) Heilipus cir culi fer us Cuam pion, B'iol. Centr.-Am., Col., IV, 4, p. 33, 



t. 3, figg. 10, 4 (1902). 

 distinctirostre (sic) Bovie, Ann. Soc. Ent. Belg., LI, p. 67 



(1907). 

 biplagiatus Boheman, in Schônh. Gen. Cure, VII, 2, p. 78 



(1843) (nec Guérin). 



2) Genus Pseudamhates Champion, Biol. Centr.-Am., Col., IV, 5, 



p. 171 (Feb. 1907). 

 Sphalerocholus Heller, Deutsche ent. Zeitschr., 1908, p. 59. 

 Pseudocholus Desbrochers, Ann. Soc. Ent. Belg., L, p. 366, 



nota(Nov. 1906) (nec Lacordaire, 1866). 



This genus is, in my opinion, a Barid, as shewn by the ascending 

 mesothoracic epimera, and has nothing to do with the Cholides, 

 araongstwhich it is included by M. Desbrochers des Loges. The 

 type, Ps. biplagiatus Desbr., from Costa -Bica, is figured in the 

 Biologia., Col. IV, 5, t. 9, figg. 10, lOa.
