442 Mr. G. Lewis on 



In one description there is no mention of the antennjp. or the 

 lepfs, in tlie other nothing is said of the elytra. The words 

 " thorace nigro-jeneo, antice subtestaceo," and " tliorace medio 

 vitta testacca," apply to CE. montano, ^fars., a species which 

 varies to this extent in the colour of the thorax. The colour 

 of the antennae, " nigris, basi infuscatis," also applies to it. 

 Motschulsky's descriptions read as follow : — 



" (Edemera lucidicollis, Motsch., statura (Ed. luridce eed thorace 

 lucido. Elongata, parallels, subconvosa, viridi-cyanea ; thorace 

 subcordato, nitido, glabro, nigro-ajnco, antice subtestaceo ; elytris 

 puuctulatis, opacis utrinque binervis, nervo interior! abbreviato. 



" Long. 2| lin." 



" Oncomera vitticollis, Motsch., statura et color One. flavipedi sed 

 pedibus anticis obseuris. Elongata, postice attenuata, depressa, 

 vix nitida, viridi-cyanea ; thorace medio vitta testacca ; antennis 

 nigris, basi infuscatis. 



" Long. 3 lin." 



I consider Marseul's name is entitled to rank first, as his 

 description leaves no doubt as to the species he had before 

 him, and it is not quite clear whether Motscliulsky had one 

 or more.
