species read elytris laevibus, instead of elytria* 

 brevibus. 



Sp. 28. Dentatus. — Westermann assures me that 

 dentatus is the type of a new genus ; it is closely 

 allied to Ipthinus of De Jean, but is distinct. 



Sp. 32. Picicornis. — An Hegeter of Latreille ? 

 Heg. Striatus of Latreille is certainly the same 

 insect according to some authorities. 



Sp, 33. Rufipes. — This insect for the present may 

 be recorded as a Helops, although it deviates from 

 the type. The specimen is in too mutilated a state 

 to describe. 



Sp. 35, Capensis. — An Eurynotus of Kirby. The 

 specimen in the Royal Copenhagen Museum was 

 given by Paykull himself, according to Wester- 

 raann's testimony. 



Sp. 40. Obliquatus. — The characters of this genus 

 will be found in the 5th Volume of the Entomo- 

 logical Magazine, p. 373, described by Mr. New- 

 man under the name of Pen the Funerea. The 

 specific name of Fabricius should be retained. 



Sp. 48. Cyaneus. — This insect, on examination, 

 turned out to be Helodes Violacea. 



Melandrya, Fabricius, 



Melandrya is a genus belonging to the Serro- 

 palpidae. There are only four species recorded by 

 Fabricius, the last of which must be considered as 

 a Goniadera, one of the genera of Helopidae.
