Ill E. sohrina, Sharp, the grey scales are more evenly dis-

 by Dr. Sharp. 



AdimeridaB. 

 The gf'nus Adimerus^ descrilx-.l by Dr. Sharp in 1894 and 

 forminj!^ this family, is \foit(V lus of Horn, (lating from 18^2. 

 Horn discovered only one small joint, instead of two, between 

 the basal and claw joints of the tarsus. Five species in all 

 have now been reco<i;nized, viz. : M. guttatus, Lee., lecontei, 

 Fleut., cn'spatuSj Sharp, setosus. Sharp, and dubiiis, Sharp. 



Byrridae. 

 Ct/phonicuSf Sharp, is synonymous with Dyrrinus of 

 Motschulsky. 



Erotylidae. 

 Tiiename Episcaphula was introduced by Crotch for a mass 

 of species whicli he distinguished in no way from the pre- 

 viously existing Plagiopisthen, Thomson, to which a part at 

 least belong, and until a fresh division is made it seems 

 necessary to regard the two names as synonymous. 



Enyis annulatus, Macl., is a species of Micrencaustes and 

 not a synonym of Episcaphula oculata, Lac, as Crotch 

 believed. Lacordaire, notwitlistanding Mr. Gorham's remark 

 to the contrary (Froc. Zool. Soc. 1889, p. 614), expressed 

 the opposite opinion. The specimen figured by the latter 

 (pi. Ixi. tig. 2), although identical in its marking with the 

 true annuluta, Macl., is so extremely different in shape that 

 it seems impossible that it is really the same. A similar 

 pattern is shared by a number of Javan Erotylidae, of which 

 the following is yet another.
