20 ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS [Jan., ’12 
bear on my work which is to appear in the Fauna of British 
India or on any other special investigation now in hand. These 
are brought together in the present paper with the object of 
adding to the still somewhat scanty knowledge we possess of 
this important and interesting group of insects. 
Genus ZONABRIS Har. 
The following notices of species are from examination of 
types or authentic specimens: 
Zonabris hauseri and Z. lucens are distinct species; lucens 
can be told from hauseri by its longer fourth article of the an- 
tenna and its dark elytral apex. 
Z. crux var. opulentus. This form should be considered as a 
variety of lucens and not of crux. 
Z. elegantissimus var. confluens. This is merely a slight color 
variation. 
~Z fasciculata Esch. This is a good species, near macu- 
lata, ’OI. 
Z. subsplendidula Rtt. and Z. staudingeri Hdn. are both va- 
rieties of Z. splendidula Pall. 
Z. frolovi, Z. intermedia and Z. kénigi are color variations 
of the same species. 
Z. humerosa, Z. chodshentica, Z. scabiosae and Z. eyphra- 
tica are all varieties of the same species based on differences of 
the elytral pattern. 
Z. bertrandi Cast. = Z. ustulata Reiche. 
Z. dicincta Bert. = Z. bizonata Gerst. 
Z. (Caryna) posthuma Mars. is a variety of M. (C.) mixta 
Mars. 
Genus ELETICA F. 
Eletica maerens Pér. = E. rufa F. var. 
E. rufa F. var. grandiceps n. var. 
Brown, smaller than typical forms, structural characters as in rufa 
except that the head is proportionately very much larger than in 
normal specimens. 
‘Africa.” 
There is a specimen in the British Museum.
