A SYNONYMIC LIST OF THE PANORPID.E OF JAPAN. 91 



of difference as are found in the above two species. Ncevia, N., 

 and apicalis, M., appear to me to be identical, and apicalis must 

 be looked upon as a synonym of ncevia. If this be the case, then 

 it is very strange that the two species of Navas were put in the 

 genus Panorpa. They belong undoubtedly to the genus Panor- 

 podes, as may easily be seen from such characters as short 

 rostrum, simple daivs, and many others, and it is still more 

 strange to me that Mr. Navas describes a new species of Panor- 

 podes in the same paper. 



I must here correct some errors in my last paper. My 

 identifications of Panorpa lewisi, M'Lach., and P. hicornuata, 

 M'Lach., were erroneous, and I now consider my chuzenjiensis 

 as identical with the former, and magnicauda with the latter, so 

 that these names should respectively be relegated to the list of 

 synonyms. Again, in the key to the species, cornigera was 

 placed by mistake in the Aidops group of Enderlein, and of 

 course should have been placed in the Panorpa group of the 

 same author. 



Navas has made some remarks on Bittacus sinense of Matsu- 

 mura and mine, and says, "II y a lieu a douter si on a pris 

 plusieurs especes pour une seule." It may be so or may not be 

 so, but at any rate I am making some investigations which 

 I hope will settle the question. In the meanwhile, Navas' 

 opinion is followed in this list. Anyhow, the species of our 

 Panorpidas already known need further examination as to their 

 specific names. 



The following list has been drawn up for preliminary pur- 

 poses, and will probably need further correction. In the mean- 

 time, my own study is being continued : —
