448 Mr. G. C. Champion on the Heteromerons Coleoptera. 



tarsi." T. fumatus, Champ., is very closely allied 

 to T. hrunneus, for a specimen of which I am 

 indebted to Mr. Blackburn, but may be separated 

 from it by the coarser and less dense puncturing of 

 the thorax and elytra. 



Pp. 244, 245. The citations Sessinia atkinsoni 

 and S. suhlineata, C. 0. Waterh., "in litt." should 

 read "Cist. Ent. ii., pp. 228, 229 (1877)." These 

 species have not been noticed in the Zoological 

 Kecord, and as Mr. Waterhouse could not give me 

 any information on the subject, when applied to, and 

 I was unable to find them at the time, they were 

 cited as unpublished names. 



P. 257. The name infiatus is preoccupied in 

 Anthicus. This species is described by Mr. Lea in 

 his second paper (p. 279), and his name, ovipennis, 

 can therefore be substituted. 



P. 262. Anthicus walker i. According to speci- 

 mens received from Mr. Lea, this insect =: Foi-mi- 

 comus australis, King. The species is obviously an 

 Anthicus. It appears to be a common and widely 

 distributed Austi-alian species. 



P. 268. Anthicus australis. Mr. Lea informs me 

 that this insect certainly = A. rarics, King (^= propin- 

 qniis, Macl.), and that the species is moderately 

 common in Northern New South Wales and Southern 

 Queensland. I am indebted to Mr. Lea for a speci- 

 men of A. rams. 



P. 266. Micranthicus hrachypterus = Anthicus 

 pulchcr, King, according to specimens sent by Mr. 

 Lea for comparison. The species must therefore bear 

 the name Micranthicus pulcher. 



The following species (and probably others) named by 

 Mr. Lea in his second paper, were described by myself, 

 and his names cannot stand : — 



Orchesia saltatoria, Lea = 0. austrina, Champ. 

 Anthicus triangularis, Lea = ^. excavatiis, Champ., var. 



„ delicatulus, Lea = A. paululus, Champ. 

 Mordella fasciata, Lea ^= M. graphiptera, Champ. 

 ,, uniformis, Lea = M. pygmsea, Champ. 

 ,, distincta, Lea = M. fulvonotata, Champ. 

 „ setipes, Lea, is a Mordellistena, and = austrina^ 

 Champ.
