Elidiptera debilis, Walk. List Horn., Suppl. p. 72 (1858).

 L'yarda acuminipennis, Melich. ([>art.) Ann. Hofnius. Wien, xvii. 

 p. 134 (1902). 



Hab. Amazons. 



It is apparent that some of the notes taken by Stal during 

 his visit to the British Museum in 1862 must have become 

 transposed, or he would have been unlikely to place this 

 species in the very distinct Cyarda, Walk. 



Flatoides dorsisigna. 



Elidiptera dorsisiyna, Walk. List Horn., Suppl. p. 72 (1858). 

 Dascalia dorsisiyna, Melich. Ann. Hoftnus. Wien, xvii. p. 154 (1902).

 Ann. Hofinus. Wien, xvii. p. 135 (1902). 



Hab. " North America/'' 



The figure given by Melichar as punctata, Walk, {supra, 

 t. vii. fig. 17), represents a true Cyarda, but not Walker's 

 species nor either of the two others he has placed as synonymic 

 with it. 



Flatoides guiance. 



Elidiptera guiana, Walk. List Horn. ii. p. 333 (1851). 

 Cyarda guy a?ice, Stal, Ufv. Vet.-Ak. Forh. 1862, p. 490. 

 Cyarda punctata, Melich. (part.) Ann. Hofmus. Wien, xvii. p. 135 

 (1902). 



Hab. British Guiana. 



This species has considerable resemblance to F. punctata, 

 Walk., but the head of the unique type is mutilated, and 

 therefore it must at least be kept separate for the present.
