Heteromera in the Banks Collection. 161 
Family Rhipiphoride. 
24. Macrosiagon sexmaculatum. 
Mordella sermaculata, Fab. Syst. Ent. 1775, p. 263. America. 
Ripiphorus 6-maculatus, Fab, Ent. Syst. i. 2, 1792, p. 111. 
At the second reference cited the type is stated to be in 
the Banks Collection, though no specimen now exists there. 
The species is described with no reference to any earlier 
work, but the description is almost word for word the same 
as that of Mordella 6-maculata (1775), where the type is 
stated to be in Dr. Hunter’s Collection ; this is now in the 
Glasgow University Museum. 
The species has been placed by Horn and subsequent 
writers as a synonym of Macrosiagon pectinatum, Fab. (1775, 
Mordella), described immediately before it (Mus. Dom. 
Drury). 
Family Tenebrionide. 
25. Hoplocephala cornigera. 
Hispa cornigera, Fab. Spec. Ins. i. 1781, p. 82. Anglia. 
This type was overlooked by me in my notes on the types 
of this family. 
The locality given by Fabricius and copied by Olivier 
(Ent. ii. 1795, no. 55, p. 7) is erroneous, a mistake that 
caused Castelnau and Brullé to express doubt whether the 
species described by them under this name from Cuba 
(Ann. Sci. Nat. xxii. p. 842) was identical with that of 
Olivier. They do not appear to have noted that the error 
arose with Fabricius himself. 
The following species, placed originally by Fabricius in the 
Heteromerous genus Ci%stela, belong in reality to other 
families. Some of them were removed from Ciséela by 
Fabricius himself in his later works, others have been 
recognised and correctly placed by later writers, but some I 
have not been able to trace in Gemminger and Harold’s 
or Junk’s Catalogues :— 
Family Dascillide.
