Sp. 13. Laevigata. — Now an Hyperops of Solier. 

 The name of Tetromma is used by Professor Klug, 

 and I believe is anterior to that of Solier's name. 



Platynotus, Fabricius. 



Platynotus now belongs to the family of Asididae. 

 Refer back to page 110, where the genera composing 

 it are mentioned. Some of the species arranged 

 by Fabricius under Platynotus, belong to other 

 families than Asida ; for instance, Gnaptor, Eleodes, 

 and Selenepistoma, are arranged with the Blapsidae, 

 while Heteroscelis is distinct from them all. 



Fabrician Species of Platynotus. 



Sp. 4. Dilatatus. — This is now a Selenepistoma 

 of Wiedemann. The locality given by Fabricius 

 is the Isle of St. Thomas. It is probably from the 

 Cape of Good Hope. 



Sp, 6. L&vigatus. — Now a Gnaptor of Megerle. 

 Tenebrio spinimanus of Pallas is the same insect. 



Sp. 7. Undatus. — Probably an Eleodes of Dr. 

 Eschcholtz. 



Sp. 12. Granulatus. — I consider this insect still 

 as a Platynotus. It was originally described from 

 Lunds collection. According to Westermann this 

 species is not now to be found in the Royal Museum 

 at Copenhagen.
