I have been unable to see the original reference ( 12 ) to this 

 genus, but Burmeister d 3 ) gives the typical species as the 

 common dor salts. Kraatz d 4 ) also quotes dorsalis as the 

 typical species. Kraatz and Thomson proposed many genera 

 at its expense, and the majority of these on such trivial char- 

 acters that they should not be maintained. 



Ckondropyga. Noted under D. gulosa. 



Dysdiatheta. Noted under D. vicina. 



Hernichnoodes. Noted under D. mniszechii. 



Melobastes. Noted under D. xanthopyga. 



Pozcilocephala. There is absolutely nothing in the 

 diagnosis of this genus by which it could be distinguished 

 from Diaphonia. The antennal club of succinea is certainly 

 smaller than in the males of dorsalis and some other species 

 of the genus, and is practically alike in both sexes; but this 

 also is the case with some other species of Diaphonia. 



Dysectoda. Kraatz proposed this genus for dispar, and 

 doubtfully associated digglesi with it. But the latter is cer- 

 tainly congeneric with impar, which was made the type of 

 T apino schema by Thomson. As regards dispar, if this species 

 was really from Queensland, as noted in Masters' Cata- 

 logue^ 15 ) I probably have not seen it; but, if not, it seems
