Hades, Thorns. 1860, and Pim]jlema, Pasc, are names of genera synony- 

 mous with " Ltochri7ius." This is not coiTect as regards Hades and 

 Pwiplema ; the species of these genera belong to the Leiochrininse, but 

 they are not congeneric. Thomson's name of Hades was occupied by 

 Westwood in 1851, but otherwise the genus is founded on vahd characters. 

 Ades, Guerin, I do not know.

 Alphitojyhagus suhfascius, Walk. Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist, ser.3, ii. p. 284 



(1858). 

 AljMtophagusjapanus, Mars. Ann. Soc. Eut. Fr. (o) vi^p. 109 (1876). 

 Haplocephala celeba, Chevrol. Pet. Nouv. ii. p. 177 (1877). 

 Haplocephala diversidens, Fairm. Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. Ixii. p. 20 (1893). 



Champion (Ent. M. M. ser. 2, vol. vi. p. 47, 1895) has revived Walker's 

 name after examining the type at South Kensington, and places the species 

 in Platydema. A. pallidicollis, Lew., may also be included in Platydema. 



7. Eutochia lateralis, Boheman. 



Alphitohius lateralis, Boh. Res. Eugen. p. 94, 1858 (nee lateralis, 

 Motsch. 1859). 



Holanana picescens, Fairm. 1885. 



Holanaria dorsalis, M.trs. 



Fairmaire has recorded this species as occurring in Japan (Ann. Soc. 

 Ent. Fr. xii. p. 20, 1893), but without giviuo- his authority or any special 

 locality. It was originally found in Hong Kong, and it is a species likely 

 to be 'distributed by commerce. The synonymy given is partly Fair- 

 maire's. F. Bates lias published a note on the genus Eutochia (Ent. 

 M. M. ix. p. 93). A?iiara, Leconte, 1859, was preoccupied, and Holanaria 

 is not required.
