TehpJianua graciliH^ Sharp, Biol. Ceiitr.-Am., Col. ii. i»t. 1, 

 1899, p. oiiH, is nntidated by T. gracilis, Schauf., Nunq. 

 Otiosus, 1S90, iii. p. GOO. It may be called T. sharpi. 



The genus J/i/mcea, described by Pascoe in 18G9 us 

 belonging to the Heteromera, is a curious form allied to 

 Psamriio'chus. Fuscoc was deceived by the hcteromcrous 

 tarsi of the male. 



Colydiidae. 



Colohicus conformis and pari/is, Pa3c.,are the same species, 

 which seems to have been divided by Pascoe mainly on 

 account of tht^ difFfrent habitat of his types, which are from 

 Lombok and Batch ian respectively. The range of the species 

 is far greatt-r than the deseril)er seems to have thought 

 possible, and I have gathered together a series from Danima I., 

 Ceram, Mysol, Timor, Lombok, Batchian, Borneo, Anda- 

 man l^., Pcnang, Assam, Hong Kong, and North Australia. 



Xuthia siccana, Pasc, has an exactly similar distribution, 

 and I am unable to distinguish from it A', maura and X. rujiiia 

 of the same author, nor can I recognize the genus Xuthia as 

 distinct from Bitoma. The African species B. rujipes^ Kolbe, 

 is very closely related to B. siccana. 



B. latiuscuIuSj Fairm., is a species of Neotrichus. 



A North American insect was described as NematiJiuni 

 jiliforme by Leconte in March 1863, and the same name 

 was used by Pascoe for an Amazonian species in April of 

 the same year. Dr. Sharp's discovery of the localisation of 

 the species of the genus in Central America seems to preclude 

 the possibility of Leconte's and Pascoe's being the same, 

 and it will be well to change the name of the latter to 

 N. pascoe i. 



The name Pi/cnocep/ialus used by Dr. Kraatz in 1895 

 for a genus allied to Sosylus was previously used by 

 Dr. kSharp in 1891, and must be changeu. It may be called 

 Cephatopycnus. 



The specimens which Dr. Sharp has described in the Biol. 

 Centr.-Amer., Col. ii. pt. 1, 1895, p. 488, under the name of 

 Lithop/iorus sitccineus, Pasc, do not belong to the species 

 actually described by Pascoe, who contused two different forms 

 under that name. Pascoe quotes as localities Kio ami Para, 

 but, while he labelled as his type a specimen from llio, his 

 description does not apply lo that, but to the ditferent species
