PHYTOPHAGA. 

 DiPHYLLOCERA (Westw. Tr. Ent. Soc, v. 213). 

 This name lias stood now for nearly forty years, but never- 

 theless it was pre-occupied, having been used in 18^1 by A. 

 "White in G-rey's " Two Jouruies in Australia" for a genus of 

 Lamellicornes. White spelt it wrongly, ''Bipliyllocera,'' but his 

 spelling was corrected by Erichson (in the following year, I 

 believe), who has been followed by subsequent authors. The 

 case appears to be a difficult one to adjust, but I think it should 

 be done by substituting a new name for the Phytophagous 

 genus. Unfortunately, " WestiooocUa " is pre-occupied. I 

 suggest, therefore, that the name ^'Joliannica'' be used, associat- 

 ing the learned Professor's insect with his Christian name.

LAMELLICOENES. 

 CCELOTHOEAX. 



C. Ohertliueri, Ancey. This insect is attributed in Mr. 

 Masters' Catalogue to South Australia. It was described in 

 1880 in a Erench magazine called, I believe, Le Naturaliste. 

 Having no other means of identifying it, I have recently ap- 

 plied to M. Ancey for information, and he has very courteously 

 forwarded to me a MS. copy of his description, with the com- 

 ment that he has discovered the insect to be identical witb 

 Cavonus armafAcs, Sharp, a determination whicb the perusal of 

 his description entirely confirms. The name GoeJotliorax 

 Olertliueri therefore must take its place as a synonym of 

 Cavonus ar mains.
