158 Mr. K. G. Blair on the Fahrician Types of 
15. Dohrnia tristis. 
Necydalis tristis, Fab. Mant. Ins. i. 1787, p. 170. In terra Diemenii. 
(Edemera tristis, Fab. Oliv. Ent. iii. 1795, no. 50, p. 12, pl. ii. fig. 13. 
Dohrnia mirabilis, Newm. Zoologist, ix. 1851, App., p. 183. 
Ithaca anthina, Olliff, Proc. Linn. Soc. N. 8. Wales, (2) ii. 1887, 
p. 154. 
Unfortunately all that remains of the type is the abdomen 
attached to the pin. The description, in conjunction with 
Olivier’s figure, leaves no doubt that the insect was the ¢ of 
the species better known as Dohrnia mirabilis, Newm., and 
an examination of the abdomen makes this identity certain. 
Olliff evidently did not know Newman’s insect, but his 
description is so full and detailed as to leave the synonymy 
beyond question. 
Family Meloide. 
16. Epicauta dubia. 
Lytta dubia, Fab. Spec. Ins. i. 1781, p. 829. Sibiria. 
17. Epicauta marginata (cinerea, Forst.). 
Lytta marginata, Fab. Syst. Ent. 1775, p. 260. Hab. C. B.S, 
Fabricius again gives a wrong locality, and does not cite 
the collection from which the type is taken. Olivier states 
(Ent. iii. p. 46. no. 16) that it is “du cabinet de M. Banks.” 
The Banksian insect bears the label “Sp. Ins. no. 5,” at 
which reference the species is synonymised with Meloe cine- 
reus, Forst., a well-known N.-American species. 
18. Lytta nitidula. | 
Lytta nitidula, Fab. Syst. Ent. 1775, App. p. 826. Anglia. 
The locality is corrected in Ent. Syst. i. 2, p. 84, to Cap. 
Bon. Spei. The collection containing the type is not speci- 
fied, but Olivier states that it is in the Banks Collection. 
The reference is incorrectly given in the Catalogues as p. 820. 
19. Euzonitis quadripunctata. 
Mylabris 4-punctata, Fab. Mant. i. 1787, p. 217. Russia. 
The reference is incorrectly given in recent Catalogues as 
Syst. Eleuth. 11. 1801, p. 84.
