 Notes on Previously Described Species. 



Part XI.

[Read September 11, 1913.] 



I am greatly indebted to Mr. Gilbert J. Arrow, of the 

 British Museum, for the opportunity of examining some co- 

 types of Mr. Pascoe's Cur culion idee, these enabling me to 

 identify with certainty several genera and species which could 

 not be identified from the descriptions alone, some of these 

 being not alone insufficient but actually misleading. The 

 species sent were : — 



.4 caccdlis 'personata . 

 Addles explefus, 

 Byrsia cerata. 

 Dittli iisa fer v id a . 

 Enide cestuans. 

 E. porphyrea. 

 E. sav.iosa. 



Melanterius fugiiivuR . 

 Onidistus odiosus. 

 Paleticus invidus. 

 Foropterus fython. 

 Tentegia favosa. 



Some notes have also been prepared on other specimens 

 which Mr. Arrow w:as kind enough to compare with their 

 types. 



All the species here noted or described belong to the sub- 

 f amilv Crypt orhynch ides. 



ACACALLIS. 



Mr. Pascoe described the apex of the pectoral canal in this 

 genus as open, but in the co-type of A . personafa before me 

 it is certainly cavernous, and this is a very important feature 

 in the subfamily Cryptorliynchides. He also described the 

 base of the prothorax as truncate, but it is distinctly, although 

 rather lightly, trisinuate. The rostrum of the female (the sex 

 of the co-type) is almost perfectlv straight, but that of the 

 male is lightlv curved. I can find notliing warranting its 

 generic separation from Orochlesis.
