The sexual differences in the species of tliis group (the 

 7th) appear to be very slight ; but from its antennal laminae 

 being slightly longer than in 77. farefa, Blackb., and the 5th 

 antennal joint, as well as the 6th, being angular on the 

 inner side I judge the type of H. Jynr/i to be probablv a 

 male. It is specifically extremely distinct from IJ . fnceln by 

 the very different puncturation of all its dorsal seg^ments and 

 from both that species and fc^foceipi^nvix^ Mad., bv tlie shape 

 of itss prothorax.

 that it must be superficially extremely like () pilo focrosus, 

 Schenk. (described in Deutsch. Ent. Zeit., of the preceding 

 year). In 1903 Schenkling stated (I.e.) that he had found 

 his species to be a N(it<ilix, and that it was identical with 

 iV. Lewi, Blackl). In the same year. Tr.R.S.S.A., p. 308, I 

 reported Schenkling's announcement, and assented to it. 

 Subsequently Herr Schenkling lias been so good as to send 

 me a specimen of his forrosi/s, with the result that on a re-
