Apiomerikjs. 



Genus Apiomerus. 



Api'omervs apicalis. 



Apiomerus apicalis, Burm. Haiidb. ii. p. 232 (1835). 

 Apioments subapicalis. Walk. Cat. Het. viii. p. 72. n. 28 (1873). 



Apiomerus nitidicollis. 



Apiomertis nitidicollis, Stal, En. Hem. ii, p. 99 (1872). 

 Apiomenis pdchripes, Walk. Cat. Het. viii. p. 72. ii. 26 (1873). 



Apiomerus lituratus. 



Apiomerus lituratus, StSl, En. Hem. ii. p. 99 (1872). 

 Ajriomertis lituratus. Walk. Cat. Het. viii. p. 71. n. 23 (1873). 



It is probable that Stal, on his visit to the British Museum, 

 affixed his MS. name to this species, which he afterwards 

 descriptively published as above. Walker presumably found 

 the name and also described the species. Walker's type 

 represents the variety in which the abdomen beneath is 

 fuscous and tlie apices of all the femora and the posterior 

 tibia3 and tarsi are ochraceous. 



Apiomerus amazonus. 



Apiomerus amazonus, Stal, En. Hem. ii. p. 99 (1872). 

 Apiomerus bipunctatus, Walk. Cat. Het. viii. p. 70. n. 19 (1873). 



Apiomerus geniculatus. 



Ajnornerus genictilatus, Erichs. in Schomb. Reis. Guiana, iii. p. 613 



(1848) ; StSl, En. Hem. ii. p. 96 (1872). 

 Apiofnonts lateralis. Walk. Cat. Het. viii. p. 71. n. 24 (1873). 



The form described by Walker differs from the descrip- 

 tion of Erichson only in the colour of the connexivum, 

 which is spotted with sanguineous, in some examples almost 

 wholly sanguineous. The same variation, however, is to be 

 found in the allied species A. nigriluhus, Stal, the small 

 white spots of the connexivum also sometimes being replaced 

 by sanguineous. 



Apiotnerus proteus. 



Apiumerusjlavipennis, Stal, CEfv. "\"et.-Ak. Forh. 18oo, p. 188. 

 Apiomerus proteus, Stal, En. Hem. ii. p. 96 (1872). 

 Apiomei-us tarsalis, Walk. Cat. Het. viii. p. 72, n, 27 (1873).
