Clicetos'pania hongiana (Borg). 



When I described Chcetospania escalerce horn Biafra (Mem. 

 Soc. Es])an. II. N.i. p. 294, 190G) I had not seen the descri|> 

 tion of Sparatta hongiana, Borg (Arkiv for Zool. i. p. 573, 

 pi. xxvi. fig. 3, 1904), from the Cameroons. Professor 

 Sjostedt has since kindly sent me authentic syntypes of the 

 latter from the Stockholm Museum, and I see that the two 

 species are identical. The name is therefore Chcetospania 

 hongiana (Borg). 



This genus, with the allied Sparatta and Flatylahia, 

 requires a thorough revision. 



Spongiphora assiniensis, Bormans. 

 A careful comparison of the descriptions of Spongiphora 

 assiniensis, Bonn, (apud Bolivar, Ann. Soc. cnt. Vr. vol. Ixii. 

 p. 170, 1893), of Sjyongiphora ochracea, Borg (Arkiv f. Zool. 

 i. p. 569, pi. xxvi. tig. 6, 1904), and Spongiphora rohur. Burr 

 (Mem. Soc. Espan. II. N. i. p. 293, 1906), leaves no doubt 

 in my mind that all these species are identical, and they are 

 all recorded from West Africa.
