Serville's and Walker's descriptions of the coloration 

 of this species, together with the above generic description, 

 are quite sufficient to identify the species, and I think it 

 superfluous to give its re-description. 



British Miisemn specimen : S. Africa, 1 $. 



Species of Calliptamini, the generic position of ivhich is 

 not certain. 



There is a number of species described by different 

 authors under Caloptenus and Euryphytnus, the correct 

 generic position of which cannot be determined by the 

 descriptions only, and might be cleared up by the study 

 of the types, in the cases where these are available. 

 Unfortunately, many of Walker's types which were in 

 Mr. Lord's collection in Egypt are destroyed, and there 

 is scarcely any hope of clearing up some of his species. 



The following species are described by Walker in the 

 Cat. Derm. Salt. B. M., iv, 1870 :— 



Caloptenus testaceus (I.e., p. 685, no. 22). — Possibly a 

 Kripa. 



concisus (I.e., p. 687, no. 25). — A Caloptenop- 

 sis ?. 



signatus (I.e., p. 687, no. 26).— A Caloptenop- 

 sis ?. 



turbidus (I.e., p. 688, no. 27). — Possibly a 

 Thisoecetrus. 



mutator (I.e., p. 689, no. 28). — Possibly a 

 Thisoecetrus. 



cincticollis (I.e., p. 689, no. 29). — This is a 

 member of Euprepocnemini and conspecific 

 with Acridium morhosum Serv., but the 

 genus is uncertain, the male being un- 

 known.*
