XXI. — Further Notes on the Fahrician Types 0/ Heteroniera 

 (Coleopiera) in the Banks Collection. By K. G. Blair, 

 B.Sc, F.E.S. 



(Published by permission of the Trustees of the British Museum.) 



In the ' Annals ' for May 1914 (ser. 8, vol. xiii. pp. 482- 

 490) I published notes on the Fabrician types of Tenebrio- 

 nidaj in the above collection. The present paper supplements 

 these with notes on the types belonging to other families of 

 the Heteromerous series. 



A few species not included in the Heteromera that were 

 placed by Fabricus in the genus Cistela are also noted, 

 with a brief indication of their true systematic position. 

 Wliere no comment is added the species may be taken as 

 being generally well known and correctly identified. 



Family Alleculidae [Cistelidce). 



I. Lobopoda lurida. 

 Helops luridus, Fab. Syst. Ent. 1775, p. 258. Brazilia. 



I have not been able to identify this with any other 

 described species, and as the name appears to have been 

 drop])ed from recent catalogues a rcdescription of the species 

 may be of value : — 



Elongate-ovate, moderately nitid, dark reddish brown 

 Ann. tt; Ma(/. N. J list. Ser. 1). Vol. v. 11
