( ' liatospaniaj uppiter ^ Buir,= Spongiphora nitidipennia, Bonn. 



Dr. R. Gcstro liaviiiLi; kindly communicated nie the typeot" 

 Spou<jiphora nitidipcnnis, Borni. (18'J-i) |». !582, I am ahlo to 

 establish tlio identity of Cluetospanla juppiter^ JUjir, (liJOO*) 

 p. y4. The actual typo of dc Bormans I'lom Burmah in a 

 poor specimen. The individuals described lator by him, 

 (1900*) p. 455, from Sumatra are Hner. There is no struc- 

 tural ditl'erence. I have speciuiens also from i'erak and 

 Java. 



Spongiphora geayi, 'Qwxx, — Spongiphora insignia (StSJ). 



S/'ongiphora fjcayiy Burr, (1904) p. 21)5, is certainly iden- 

 tical with Sp. insignia, 8tal, (1855) p. 349. The py^'idium 

 is rather hidden and the t'orcepa somewhat diir.rout in dctad 

 in the original specimen. 



Labia vtynneca, Burr, = La6m fasciata^ Borni. , = Laiiu ni- 

 grella, Dubr. 



Labia myrmeca, Burr, (lOOS") p. 96, is of a dark red 

 colour rather than deep black ; the wings are abortive, the 

 elytra shoiter and spotted rather than bandeil, but otherwise 

 it af^rees with de Bormans' tyj)e of Labia Jui^ciata, (1894) 

 p. 387, of which it is obviously only a variation*. 



Opiathocoamia erroria, llmr, = Op isthocosmiafurcipata, llaan. 



llaan'a figure shows small orange spots at the shoulders of 

 the elytra, which are missing in my type. Otherwise 

 O. erroria agrees perfectly with the description and figure of 

 O. forcipala, llaan. The form of the forceps i» very 

 distinctive. The synonymy is as follows : — 



Forjiculu fvrcipata, Ilaiin, (lb42) p. 243, pi. xxiii. Cg. 11. 

 Ojn$th>icostnia forcipala, Dohrn, ycudder, do Bormaus, and lurby (nee 



Burr!). 

 Opitilhocosviia lumens, Burr, (1900*) p. ]0l (nee BornmnsI). 

 Upisthoeosmia erroris, Burr, (li)04^) p. 308; (1907') p. 100, pi. iv. 



fig. 2. 



My record of 0. forcipata, llaan (see Burr, (1900") p. 03), 

 refers to 0. burri, de Bormans (apud Burr, (1903') p. 2G7). 



• When tlio piilo bands are obsolete, it is Z. nigrella, DuIt., (1670) 

 p. 370, of which I have seen the type, with that of L.faaciata, iu the 

 Genoa Museum. _
