0. {Lionotus) 4-tuberculatus, Smith. (Plate XCI, fig. 3.) 



In my earlier paper (Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. (8), xi, p. 52, 

 1913) 0. pulchripilosellus, Cam., is treated as synonymous 

 with the above ; since then I have come to the conclusion 

 that they are distinct ; Schulthess (Archiv. F. Zoologi, 

 Bd. 8, No. 17, p. 16 (1913) is of the same opinion.
