On page 80, under the subgenus Spermidius, change the name of " semiruber" 

 to semirubidus, there being a semiruber on page 65, under the subgenus Hiotus. 



On page 274, omit the genus "Macriops," as this was subsequently found to 

 be unrelated to the Barinae, but not until the diagnosis had passed through the 

 press. As however its general characters have now been published, and a named 

 type assigned, it may be worth while to complete the publication as follows: 



Subfamily Erirhinin^e 



Tribe Erirhini 



Macriops n. gen. 



Body narrow, cylindric and convex, glabrous; eyes large but well 

 separated above and beneath, the beak short, very slender, sub- 

 glabrous and evenly arcuate, very evenly cylindric, the antennae 

 slender and submedial, the club small, oval, abrupt and subglabrous, 

 with its basal segment about half the mass. Prosternum very 

 short before the coxae, which are relatively large, globular and 

 subcontiguous; posterior margin straight; middle cDxae separated 

 by fully half their width; metasternum much longer than the first 

 ventral, the first abdominal suture very fine and subobsolete, the 

 others coarse and deep, only feebly reflexed at the sides. Legs very 

 moderate in length but slender, the femora feebly bent apically, 

 the anterior with a small acute inferior tooth, the others mutic; 

 tibiae very slender, cylindric and strongly arcuate; tarsi rather long 

 and slender, the third joint dilated and bilobed. Prothorax tubulate 

 at tip, the transverse base just visibly arcuate at the middle. 

 Scutellum small, ogival and very free. Elytra strongly striate, 

 wider than the prothorax. Pygidium very small, extremely short 

 and transverse, smooth and feebly convex. 



There can be very little doubt that this genus is one of the 

 Erirhinids, but it does not seem to be notably allied to any of the 

 subarctic forms. The type is the following: 



Macriops parvicollis n. sp. — Small, cylindric and moderately shining, the 

 integuments red-brown in color and coarsely micro-reticulate; beak almost as
