to IJelops, changed tlie name of this species, in order to avoid 

 clasliing with IJelops inorio, F. (no. 25 above).

32. ChaJcopterus cupreuSj Syst. Ent. p. 123 {Erotylus), Aus- 

 tralia. 



= venereum, Gme\., = setosus, Blackbn. 



A further study of this genus with the help of Mr. Carter's 

 paper leads nie to the opinion that setosus, Blackbn., = 

 cupreus, F. I have only the single type-.>^pecinien of each, 

 but there can, I think, be little doubt of their specific identity.

Again, a further study of this type leads nie to modify the 

 opinion originally communicated to Mr. Carter. I am 

 ui able to match the specimen with any otlier in the British 

 Museum Collection. It most closely resembles C. pnlcher, 

 Blackbn. (tliough not identical with it), and is, in my opinion, 

 not the amethystinus of Blackluin and Carter j nor is it 

 cyanipennis, Hope. 



Probably Fabricius was considering a series "without 

 detecting more than one species, for, though there is only 

 one specimen in the Banks Collection, he says, " femoribus 

 ii.terdum rufis."

 Tenehrio or Htlops : —
