428 R. OSTEN SACKEN 



Synopsis ; but I do not find this change stated anywhere , and 

 am glad to be able to leave the priority to M/ v. d. Wulp, 

 who has given a fine figure of this species. 



Atomosia sp. One 9. Ramoi, N. Guinea, Febr. 1875 (Beccari). 

 Undoubtedly new, but, unfortunately, in a very bad state of 

 preservation. 



Laphria partita Walk. J. Pr. Lin. Soc. IV, 105 ! (Celebes). 



One c/'; Kandari, Celebes, Apr. 1874 (Beccari). 



"Walker says that three abdominal segments are clothed with 

 golden pile (he calls it ochraceous); but the fourth segment (even 

 in the typical specimen) has also a great deal of such pile, and 

 even the fifth, at the basis. 



L. auricincla v. d. W. (Timor) must be very like this species, 

 but is described as having the root of the wings only hyaline, 

 and not the whole proximal half, three segments clothed with 

 golden hair ; whitish humeral spots etc. ; nevertheless it may be 

 the same species. Should the identity be proved, the name 

 would have the priority , as there is an earlier L. partila 

 Walker, 1. c. I, 115 (Borneo).
