al;ove. All o£ them state that tlie type is in the Banks 

 Collection. 



The Kiel specimen is, as suspected by Gebien, inconTctly 

 identified, and is one of the many instances of the misidenti- 

 fication by Fabricins of one of his own earlier-described 

 species. Pimelia scahra, F., of Gebien's Catalogue must be 

 synonvniized with Psaininod(s sraher, F., of the same, leaving 

 the name valida, Er., for the Pimelia. As before, Olivier's 

 figure and description represent the Fabrician species.

The type belongs to the species identified by Miedel 

 (Deutsch. Ent. Zeitschr. 1880, p. 139) as crenatum, F., of 

 which the type has been examined by Gebien ; Miedel's 

 identification of Op. arenarium, F,, with the Oriental 

 moluccanum, Blanch., is, of course, equally erroneous.
