424 Mr. Bridgman's additions to Mr. MarshalVs 



were only varieties, one having the thorax black, the 

 other red, I think specimens with intermediate colora- 

 tion would be not uncommon. 



Gravenhorst describes a variety of P. abh'eviator with 

 a red scutellum, and Vollenhoven figures, in ' Pinaco- 

 graphia,' A. hatavus, VolL, which appears to me to be 

 only one of Gravenhorst's varieties. I have only seen 

 three or four specimens of A. ahhreviator, but the variety 

 with the red scutellum I have not yet seen. 



As Gravenhorst first described C. pygoleucus and 

 P. Hopei in the Supplement, I think the name given to 

 the male must stand, and Forster's genus Agrothereutes 

 must be transferred to the "has beens." The insect 

 belongs to Thomson's subgenus Spylocryptus.
