A. episcopalis, Spin., wrongly regarded by Spinola as a 
xfer gi of instabilis, Newn. (discussed below). 
allipes, Chevr., quoted by Herr Lohde as a synonym of 
foseiulig Macl. This seems to me highly improbable. No 
reason is given for the reference. A. foveicollis is penny 
undescribed. It is a Queensland species, and the type is at 
Sydney. 
A. coenae is a familiar Tasmanian specie 
. cas s, Westw., and A. tibialis, Westw. (described by 
White, Clerid, TV. 60) placed i in all catalogues known to me as 
synonyms of A. instabilis, Newm. I consider this almost

eared up without examination of the types (which are no 
doubt i in the Br. Museum). 
The following synonymy seems to be correc 
A. affinis, Gorh.—4A. samaragdinus, Gorh. pom author says of 
affinis. ** possibly end a var.’ 
A. varicolor, Chevr.— A. multicolor, Chevr. Its author says 
of varicolor “ probabi only a var.’ 
A. alb vente: Gorh.—4. ochrurus, Chevr. Mr. Gorham 
has already this synonymy. Both descriptions were 
published in 1876. and it seems doubtful which has the priority.

The following synonymy has not been noted previous

apicalis, Macl. (Macleay's name has priority). 
A. viridissimus, Pasc. is (as more fully indicated below) pro-

It should be added that in Herr Lohde's fpi the name 
“auratus, Gory., il.” occurs as a synonym of A. instabilis, 
Newm. 1 do not know this insect, and have not seen the de- 
scription of it, so can express no opinion about it. 
Assuming the correctness of the above synorymic cies 9 of 
the 27 names referred to above must be regard mere 
synonyms. 
Of the 18 names remaining I have been able to identify 14 
with insects on which they appear to have been founded. The 
four that I have not been able to identify are :
