Note on the Locality and Synonyms of Sternotomis cornutor, Fabr. 
(Coleoptera, Lamiide). By Cuartes O. WATERHOUSE. 
The type specimen of Sternotomis cornutor, Fabr., is in the British 
Museum, said to have come from America. The species has since 
been described by Prof. Westwood under the name S. comes, said (with 
doubt) to have come from Madagascar. Two examples ( dand 2 ) 
have recently been added to the British-Museum collection from the 
Island of Johanna, off Madagascar. The two specimens agree 
exactly with the type which is figured by Olivier. While recording 
this locality I take the opportunity of correcting the synonymy of 
the species as given in the ‘ Munich Catalogue.’ In that work the 
names are placed thus :— 
1. cornutor, Fabr., Oliv., Klug. 
maculata, Oliv., Casteln. 
2. Norrist, Westw. 
comes, Westw. 
The following will be found correct :— 
1. cornutor, Fabr., Oliv., nze Klug. 
comes, Westw. 
2. maculata, Oliv., Casteln. 
cornutor, Klug. 
3. Norrisi, Westw. 
The authors of the Catalogue were doubtless misled by Klug, who, 
after giving a diagnosis of ‘“‘ cornutor, Fabr.,” wrongly identified, 
places maculata, Ol., as a synonym of it. How comes came to be 
associated with Norrisi, with which, according to Thomson, it is 
scarcely congeneric, it is difficult to imagine.

Srrs,—I regret to find that through inadvertency there is a discre~ 
pancy between the Plate illustrating my paper in the April ‘Annals’ 
and its description. To make the Plate intelligible I must ask 
your readers to change the figures 3 into 7, and 4, 5, 6, 7 to 
3, 4, 5, 6. 
Yours faithfully, 
April 3, 1878. A. M. Norman.
