50 Mr. M. Burr — Notes on the Forficularia. 



The synonymy is as follows : — 



1. Strongyhpsalis cheliduroides (Borni.). 



Labia cheliduroides^, Borm, 1880, An, Soc. Esp. H. N. ix. p. 509 ( 5 ) 



(nee Borm. Ann. Soc. ent. Belg. xxvii. p. 74, pi. ii. fig. 12, 1883) ; 



id. Tierreich, Forf. p. 72 (1900) ; Kirbv, Cat. Orth. i. p. 27 (1904) 



(ex parte, 5 only). 

 Stronciylopsalis inca, Burr, Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. (7) vi. p. 80 (1900) 



(c?'$) ; Seni. Rev. russe d'Ent. ii. p. 102 (1902) ; Kirb. Cat. Orth. 



i. p. 15 (1904). 



Peru {Borm., Burr). 



2. Strong ylopsalis cornuta, n. n. 



Labia cheliduroides, Borm. (nee 1880, An. Soc, Esp, H. N. ix, p. 509), 

 1883, Ann. Soc. ent. Belg. xxvii. p. 74, pi. ii. tig. 12 (cT); id. 

 Tierreich, Forf. p. 72 (1900) (cJ) ; Kirby, Cat. Orth. i. p. 27 (1904). 



Mexico (Borm.). 



In 8. cheliduroides the forceps of the male are slender, 

 remote at the base, simple, arcuate, and unarmed. In 

 S. cornuta they are elongate, depressed, and armed with a 

 vertical blunt process on the upper surface. 



P salts dorice (Borm.). 



I have a syntype of Psalis guttata, Borm., from Mentawei, 

 which I have been able to compare with the type of Forficula 

 dorice, Borm., from the Genoa Museum, kindly lent me by 

 Signer Gestro. There is no doubt that tlie two species are 

 identical. 



Chcetospania borneensis (Borm,). 



Signer Gestro has kindly lent me the types of Sphingo- 

 lalis borneensis, Borm,, from the Genoa Museum. I have 

 compared them with the types of Chcetospayiia confusa, Burr, 

 which was originally misplaced by de Bormans with C.fece^ 

 Borm. There is no doubt that G. confusa is identical with 

 S. borneensis^ although the type is somewhat smaller and 

 paler ; the pygidium is partly hidden in the type of C. con- 

 fusa, and consequently very deceptive in appearance. 

 Choitospania stella, Burr, is also probably identical. 



The synonymy is consequently as follows : — 



Sphingolabis borneetisis, Dubr. Ann. Mus. Civ. Gen. xiv. p. 381 (1879). 

 Chcetospania confusa, Burr, Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. (7) xvi, p. 489 



(1905). 

 Chcetospania stella, Burr, Termes. Fiizetek, p. 483, pi. xx. fig. 6 (1902).
