Plocamocera, Spiuola. 

 Type, P. sericella, Spin. 



Some of the specimens found by Mr. Bates on the 

 Amazon are fully twice as large as typical ones, being 

 3 lines long, but 1 can find no other specific difference. 



Chev. refers humeralis, Sp., to Plocamocera Avith 

 doubt; it is an Epipldceus. 



A specimen recei\'ed from him as Plocamocera militaris, 

 Chev., is Ppiplilceus serireus , IsAwg.

 Type, E.Jiliformis, CasL 



Lemidia, Spinola. 

 Type, L. nitens, Newman. 



Tt is astonishing how sjiecics of Clerida^ not even refer- 

 able to the Ilydnoccridcs have been described as Lemidia, 

 apparently from a resemblance in the form of the head. 



All the Lemidia yet known are from Australia or 

 Tasmania; and I see no reason to expect it will be found 

 elsewhere, unless it be in New Zealand.
