1 have followed de Saussure in uniting the species with fulvous 

 pubescence on the head and thorax (aureicollis, 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 hemi, Elis Jtmhriata, Burmeister, 

 kept distinct by de Saussure, seems to me only a large form of 

 E. thoracica (vera). The specimens in Mr. Green's collection are 

 midway between typical thoracica and typical ^wi6Wa<«.

• 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.
