Mr. Kirby had correctly placed these two species as syno- 

 nymic {supra), but as Lethierry and Severin have since 

 placed them as distinct in their Catalogue (t. ii. pp. 35 and 37), 

 it i.s as well to draw attention to the correction. 



Hvniceocerus subjectus. 



Hom(£oceru8 subjectus, A\alk. Cat. Het. iv. p. 97. n. 20 (1871). 



The type is unique and represented by a specimen in bad 

 condition. Probably only a colour- variety of H. abhreviatus, 

 Fabr.
