20. Zonitis angulata. 
Cantharis angulata, Fab. Mant. i. p. 168. Insula Amsterdam. " 
Zonitis angulifera, Blanch. Voy. Pole Sud, Ins. iv. 1853, p. 191, pl. xii. 
figs. 17, 18. 
The type agrees perfectly with specimens in the British 
Museum from Vavao and the Tonga Islands (Z. angulifera, 
Blanch.). Amsterdam Is. is in the southern Indian Ocean, 
so that the Fabrician locality again appears to be erroneous. 
21. Zonitis testacea. 
Mylabris testacea, Fab. Spec. Ins. i. 1781, p. 331. Sibiria. 
Zonitis preusta, Fab. Ent. Syst. i. 2, 1792, p. 48. Italia. 
Zonitis flava, Fab. Syst. Ent. 1775, p. 127. In Oriente. 
Zonitis flava, Fab. Ent. Syst. i. 2, 1792, p. 49. 
This species was three times described by Fabricius him- 
self. The synonymy of the first two names given above was 
recognized by him, but 7. flava, described from the collec- 
tion of Prof. Forskah], was retained as a distinct species in 
his latest work (Syst. Eleuth. 11. 1801, p. 24). 
The reference to Z. flava is given incorrectly in the Cata- 
logues as Ent. Syst. ii. (sic!) 1792, p. 49, but the name 
really originates from 1775, and thus takes precedence as 
the specific name. This precedence is recognized by Reitter 
(Fauna Germ. iii. 1911, p. 397), but the name is not adopted 
by Borchmann in his recent Catalogue of this family (1917). 
22. Cissites testacea,. 
Lymexylon testaceum, Fab. Spec. Ins. i..1781, p. 256. Habitat : 
Horia testacea, Fab., Oliv. Ent. iii. 1795, no, 63 bis, pl. i. fig. 2a (2). 
Horia cephatotes, Oliv. Ent. iii. 1795, no. 53 bis, pl. i. fig. 3 (d). 
This type has already been stated by Dr. C. J. Gahan 
(Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. (8) ii. 1908, p. 201) to be the ? 
of an African species probably identical with Horia cephalotes, 
Oliv., H. senegalensis, Cast.,and Cissites macrognatha, Fairm. 
Indeed, it is doubtful whether any of the so-called species of 
Cissites described from Africa is more than a form, with 
greater or less development of the head, of the one species ; 
this development varies greatly even in a series froin the 
same localty. (N.B.—C. nitida, Gah., of Borchmann’s Cata- 
logue belongs not to Cissites but to Horia, as stated by its 
describer.) 
When defining the genus Horta (Mant. i. 1787, p. 164), 
Fabricius had before him an insect from Tranquebar sent
