112 Oil neio Species of DipJoptera. 



Nectarina azteca, 



Nectarina azteca, Sauss. Revue et Magazia de Zoologie, ix. p, 280 



(1857) (Mexico). 

 Chartergus mexicanus, Cam. Invert. Piicif. i. p. 154 (Acapulco, Mexico). 



Nectarina cameroni, nom. nov. 



Chartergus aztecus, Cam, Invert. Pacif. i. p. 155 (Mexico). 



This species has to be renamed, as the name azteca already 

 occurs in the genus. 



The four species described by Cameron as Chartergus are 

 thus all referable to Nectarina ; the types are in the British 

 Museum. It is quite possible that N. amazonica and N. 

 cameroni belong to known species ; but as the types are the 

 only specimens, and in bad condition, it has been thought 

 advisable to let them stand as distinct species. 



Masaridae, Latr. 



A very fine collection of these insects, usually taken so 

 sparingly, has recently been added to the collection. They 

 were collected in the Mogador district o£ S.W. Morocco by 

 Senor Manuel de la Escalera, and presented to the Museum 

 by Mr. R. E. Turner. They are worth recording as a 

 whole, since the locality is an interesting one. 



There do not appear to be any new species, although the 

 specimens of Ceramius fonscolombei seem almost worthy of 

 subspecific rank. 



Ceramius, Latr. 



1. lusitanicus, Klug. — Mogador, xii. 1906 [Escalera). 8 ? ? , 



2. spiricornis, Sauss. — Mogador, xii. 1906 ; El Kurimat, 



V. 1907 {Escalera). 9 ? ? , 9 c? c? • 



3. fonscolombei, Latr. — Marrakesh, iv. 1907 {Escalera). 14 



? $,12 c?c?. 



In the majority of specimens the second abdominal segment 

 is almost entirely ferruginous red, though in some specimens 

 the red markings are more reduced than in others.
