Hades, Thorns. 1860, and Pimplema, Pasc, are names of genera synony- 

 mous with '^ Liochrhius." This is not correct as regards Hades and 

 Fimplema ; the species of these genera belong to the Leiochrininai, but 

 they are not congeneric. Thomson's name of Hades was occupied by 

 Westwood in 1851, but otherwise the genus is founded on vahd characters.

Champion (Ent. M. M. ser. 2, vol. vi. p. 47, 1895) has revived Walker's 

 name after examining the type at South Kensington, and places the species 

 in Platydema. A. pallidicollis, Lew., may also be included in Platydema. 



1 . Eutochia lateralis, Boheman. 



Alphitobius lateralis, Boh. Res. Eugen. p. 94, 1858 (nee lateralis, 



Motsch. 1859). 

 Holanana jjicescens, Fairm. 1885. 

 Holanaria dorsalis, Mars. 



Fairmaire has recorded this species as occurring in Japan (Ann. Soc. 

 Eut. Fr. xii. p. 20, 1893), but without giving his authority or any special 

 locality. It was originally found in Hong Kong, and it is a species likely 

 to be distributed by commerce. The synonymy given is partly Fair- 

 maire's. F. Bates has published a note on the genus Etdochia (Ent. 

 M. M. ix. p. 93). Aniara, Leconte, 1859, was preoccupied, and Holanaria 

 is not required.
