gonnm spinipen, 0. Fabrloius, which had since been recog- 

 nized as belonging to Pseudopallcne, Wilson, 1878. Tlie 

 result lias been accepted by some good authorities that 

 Psend)pallene becomes a synonym of Phoadcliilus. Dr. Lonian 

 dispntes this, on the ground that Latreille sub-jequently 

 changed his definition o£ Plio.vichilas, and that the specimen 

 with which he was dealing was, in tact, a Pallenopsis and 

 not a Pseudopallene, But this interesting determination does 

 not alter the fact tiiat Phoxichtlus was originally established 

 tor P. spiiiipe^i and cannot be separated from it. Dr. Loman's 

 endeavour to effect this divorce only adds to the confusion 

 which he so much deplores. As to the genus ChilophoxuSj 

 which I deemed it necessary to name in 1902, it is proper to 

 mention that Canon Norman in 1908 made it a synonym of 

 Endeis, Philippi, 1843, a view declined by Dr. [jonian but 

 endorsed by Dr. Caiman in this current year (1915). It is 

 not, however, within the scope of this present paper to discuss 

 the contlictina: aro-unients of these distino-uished authorities.

 that published in Ann.& Mag. Nat. Hist. (8) xiv. pp. 402-410 

 (1914). As on that occasion, most of the material dealt with 

 is contained in the Cameron Collection, now the property of
