Family Lagriidae. 



G. Lagria glabrata (hirta, L.). 



Layna (/ladrata, Fab. Syst. Ent. p. 125. Anglia. 



Thougli stated to be in Mus. Doin. Banks, the type is not 

 now to be found in this Collection. 



Olivier expresses doubt whether his L. glabrata (Encycl. 

 Meth. vii. 179.2, p. 446) is identical with that of Fabricus, 

 a fact tliat suggests that the type was even then not to be 

 found in the Banks Collection, to which this author is 

 known to have had access. Seidlitz (Naturgcsch. derlnsekt. 

 Deutschl. V. 2, 1898, p. 350) considered, no doubt correctly, 

 that L. glabrata, Fab., was merely a rubbed specimen of 

 L. hirta, L., and Borchmann in Junk's Catalogue places it 

 as a synonym of this species. 



In any case, the name glabrata is occupied in the genns 

 Lagria from 1775, and is consequently not available for 

 Olivier's species (1792). The name of the latter should, 

 therefoi'e, be changed to L. rugosula, Rosenh., its first 

 available synonym. 



7. Lagria villosa. 



Lagria villosa, Fab. Spec. Ins. i. p. 160. Cap. bon. Spei. 

 A well-known species widely distributed in Africa. 



8. Lagria tomentosa. 



Lagria tomentosa, Fab. Syst. Ent. 1775, p. 125. Nova Hollandia. 

 Lagria pulchrivaria, Lea, Trans. Roy. Soc. S. Austral, xli. 1917, p. 176. 



The type is defective, with the basal joint of only one 

 antenna left. It is apparently a ? of the species recently 

 described by Lea as L. pulchrivaria from Queensland and 

 j^ew South Wales. 



Mr. Champion lias long since pointed out (Trans. Ent. 

 Soc. 1895, p. 229) that the species from Western Australia, 

 commonly known as L. tomentosa, Fab. {L. (eneoviulacea. 

 Champ.), does not agree with this type.
