On new Species of AcviaUJie from Ut/antli. 75 



from Mr. J. C. Crawford, however, that Ilohnhcrg, in Actes 

 Acad. Cordoha, v. p. 133 (ISSi), remarked that Tetrulonia 

 tcDiiinntu, Smith, had only three joints to the maxillary 

 palpi, and might form a new genus Thuyaler. This slight 

 referenec has lieen overlooked by all suhsetiuent authors, but 

 1 think it will hold the name, giving Thyyatcr priority. 

 The genus eonsists of the following known species : — 

 Thygater terminata (Sm.), T. cJirysophora, llolmbg., 

 T. anulis (Lep.), T. albilabris (Cress.), T. montezuma (Cress.), 

 7'. modesta (Sm.), T. rubricata (Sm.). 



Bombus Kuhli, n. n. 



Bombus carhonarius, Ilandlirsch, Ann. natuib. Ilofmus. "Wien, 1888, 

 p. 242. (S. America.) 



The name is changed because of B. carbunarius, Mcngc, 

 185G, from Prussian amber. As Friese has already named 

 a Bombus after Dr. Handlirseli, the present insect may bear 

 the name of another distinguished naturalist of Vienna. I 

 possess tlie species from Villa Encarnacion, Paraguay, 

 collected by Mr. Schrottky. Dr. Ilandlirsch, to whom 1 

 wrote concerning the preoccupation of curbonarius, replied 

 that he did not himself intend to propose a substitute.

 as they are in hesperellus ; abdomen darker, deep chestnut- 

 colour; rugse of metathoracic enclosnre more numerous,
