It is with some hesitation that I decline to accept the reference 

 of this and the two foUovving species to Moore's genus Baracus, 

 made by Mr. Watson. The thoroughness of Mr. Watson's work 

 should give great weight to his opinions, but in this case, after a 

 careful examination of typical specimens of G. lepeletierii and its 

 three copgeners, whi(!h have been placed in Baracus, I am com- 

 pelled to conclude that the differences are too slight in fact to 

 warrant such a departure from the hitherto received classification 

 of the insects.

The type is preserved in the Berlin Museum. A good specimen 

 is contained in the collection of Dr. Staudinger, to which Mons. 

 Mabille has affixed the manuscript name " acosimus."

Prom the figure given by Dr. Butler it appears a little doubtful 

 whether this species is a true Gyclopides.
