■of the seventh interstice is occupied by a strong epipleural 

 fold. The species belongs to Euryporopterus, and was subse- 

 quently described by me as E. angularis. 



POROPTERUS PYTHON, PaSC. 



(P. listroderes, Lea). 

 The co-type of P. python sent belongs to the species I 

 subsequently described as P. listroderes. Mr. Pascoe's 

 description is rather faulty, and before seeing the co-type I 

 was under the impression that the species was not really a 

 Poropterns. 



Tentegia favosa, Pasc. 



A specimen sent as a co-type of this species, from Mr. 

 Pascoe's collection, is labelled Australia; the type was stated 

 to be from Western Australia. But as the specimen now before 

 me has the front and hind femora moderately, and the middle 

 pair rather strongly dentate, and in the original description 

 "the femora are noted as edentate, it is probable that the 

 specimen really belongs to a species closely resembling, but not, 

 favosa, although associated with the type by Mr. Pascoe. ^^^^ 

 There are two species in my collection resembling the supposi- 

 titious co-type; anoljKi with prothoracic punctures identical 

 .and elytral granules very similar, but with shoulders 

 clasping the prothorax and femora edentate ; and quadri- 

 seriata also with similar punctures on the prothorax, but that 

 segment carinated. 



Pertssops iliacus, Pasc. (now Critomerus). 

 (Critomcrus emhlematicus, Lea.) 



Mr. Pascoe said the type of Perissops was the Enteles 

 ocellatus of Redtenbaclier ; and in naming the genus he 

 referred two additional species to it — miicidus (a common 

 weevil in the coastal forests of Northern New South Wales and 

 of Southern Queensland) and iliacus (from Gilolo, Aru, etc.). 

 As a generic feature he described the front femora as ''obsolete 

 dentata, vel dente parvo instructa." Whilst of iliacus he 

 wrote ■■'femoribus, pragsertim aaiticis, dente acuto instructis." 



Dr. Gestro sent me four Yule Island specimens as P. 

 ?7/c/ca, <^6) but their front femora are bidentate; as they were 

 not from any of the type localities, and belong to the species 

 I named Critomerus emhlematicus, I sent two of them to Mr. 



(5a) Since this was written Mr. Arrow has informed nie that 

 the specimen sent is really not favosa, although extremely close to 

 it in general appearance. 



(6) In Ann. Mus. Civ. Gen., 1885, p. 269, the species was 

 recorded as from Yule Island, and given a feminine termination.
