founded on a comparison with “ A. instabilis, Newm.," but it is 
impossible to ascertain (without reference to his collection) to 
what Aulicus Pasc. attributed that name. I should conjecture 
A. lemoides to be possibly a var. of A. Be acl. 
A. mellinipes, Chevr. am convinced that I have not seen 
this species. If the statement that its prothorax is longer than 
wide is strictly accurate (by measurement) I am doubly sure 
that I have not seen it 
In the following pages I describe nine new species of Aulicus 
and furnish notes on several of the previously described species. 
I also furnish a tabulation of all the species except the four 
remarked on above. In this tabulation I have found it necessary 
characters not actually mentioned in the descriptions, as there is 
of course a possibility of some of the identifications being wrong, 
—but, as it is, the tabulation is right according to the repe

case of instabilis, Newm., episcopalis, Spin., delicatulus, dicke 
and corallipes, Chevr., of " whic I have not seen authentic speci-
