Unfortunately all that remains of the type is tlie ahdomon 

 attaelied to tlie pin. The (le>irri|)tion, in conjunction with 

 Olivier's figure, leaves no doubt tliat the insect was the ? of 

 the species better known as Do/irnia miralnliit, Newm., and 

 an examination of the abdomen makes this identity certain. 

 OUitf evidently did not know Newman's insect. b\it his 

 description is so full and detailed as to leave the synonymy 

 beyond question.

Fabricius again gives a wrong locality, and does not cite 

 the collection from which the type is taken. Olivier states 

 (]*]nt. iii. 11.46. no, 16) that it is " du cabinet dc M. Banks." 

 The IJanksian insect bears the label '' Sp. Ins. no. 5," at 

 which reference the species is synonyraised with Meloe cine- 

 reus, Forst., a well-known N.-Americau species. 



18. Lytta nitidula. 



Lytta nitidula, Fab. Syst. Ent. 1775, App. p. 826. Anglia. 



The locality is corrected in Ent. Syst. i. 2, ]). 84, to Cap. 

 Bon. Spei. The collection containing the typo is not speci- 

 fied, but Olivier states that it is in the Banks Collection. 

 The reference is incorrectly given in the Catalogues as p. 820. 



19. Euzonitis quadripimctnta, 



Mylabris 'i-puyjctata, Fab. Mant. i. 1787, p. 217. Rus.sia. 



The reference is incorrectly given in recent Catalogues as 

 Syst. Eleuth. ii. 1801, p. 84.
