I have followed de Saussure in uniting the species with fulyous 
pubescence on the head and thorax (awreicollis, Lepel.) with the 
species having cinereous-white pubescence on the same parts. 
Smith, however, kept them distinct, and I am inclined to think he 
was right, as the puncturing on the head and thorax in the two 
species is different. On the other hand, Elis fimbriata, Burmeister, 
kept distinct by de Saussure, seems to me only a large form of 
EL. thoracica (vera). The specimens in Mr. Green’s collection are 
midway between typical thoracica and typical fimbriata.

Three males of a species belonging to the subgenus Dielis, in 
Mr. Green’s collection, agree fairly well with the original description 
of this species by Lepeletier de St.-Fargeau.
