Mr. M. Burr — Notes on the Forficularia. 259 



in the colour of the antennae, elytra, and wings. It is also 

 very close to a new species which I have quoted as a variety of 

 Ch. melanocephalus.

The above description I have received in lilt, from M. de 

 Bormans, and to this species I now refer the variety of 

 Ch. melanocephalus mentioned by me in this Magazine 

 {Chelisoches melanocephalus, Dohrn, var. nov., Burr, Ann. &, 

 Mag. Nat. Hist. (6) xx. 1897, p. 315). 



The three species in question may be separated as follows : — 



1. Elytra flavicla melanocephahts, Dohrn, 



1, 1. Elytra fusca vol nigra. 



2. AntenniB articulis 1-13 nigris . . Dohertyi, u. 

 2, 2. Antennfe articulis 1-4 flavidis, 



5-1 f uscis seiniluteus, Borni. 



Ch. melanocephalus \v^^ described by Dohrn from specimens 

 from Tranquebar. The type of de Bormans's semiluteas in 

 the Brunner collection is from exactly the same locality as the 

 specimen recorded by me as a new variety. A second 

 specimen of the same in my collection shows that the complete 

 antenna are the same as in de Bormans's type. The three 

 species will then stand as follows : — 



Chelisoches melanocephalus, Dohrn. 



Lobophora meJcmocephala, Dohrn, Stett. ent. Zeit. 1805. 



Chelisoches melcmocephalus, Sciidd, Proc. Bost. Soc. N. H. xviii. 1875-70, 



p. 308 ; Borm. Auu. Mus. Civ. Gen. (2) vi. p. 440 (1888) ; Borm. 



op. cit. xiv. p. 392 (1894) (nee Burr). 



Antennae articulis 1-2 nigris, ceteris brunneis ; elytra et alae flavo- 

 testacea.
