Remarks on the foregoing Species. 



Sp. 6. Viridescens . — This species appears to 

 be the same as species 15. The locality of the 

 Cape of Good Hope is correct, although Olivier 

 states that it occurs in the Brazils. 



Sp. 15. Smaragdula. — Yid. Species 6. Change 

 the country of Brazils to that of the Cape of Good 

 Hope. 



Sp. 22. Diadema. — A Podabrus of Dr. Fischer. 

 I consider this insect as an Ischnomerus of Stephens. 

 If Dr. Fischer published before Mr. Stephens, his 

 name should be adopted. 



Sp. 32. Dimidiata. — According to the Baron De 

 Jean the locality of this Telephones is the Cape 

 of Good Hope, and not Ceylon. 



Sp. 37. Abbreviata. — I regard this species as a 

 Malthinus, and probably Species 39 belongs to the 

 same genus. 



Sp. 45. Vittata.' — Probably a Necydalis. — Vid. 

 Illiger's Mag. page 380-43, note. 



Sp. 51. Minima. — I have in the tables recorded 

 this species as a Malthinus of Latreille. It may 

 probably be a Malachius. 



Malachius, Fabricius* 



Some Entomologists consider Malachius as en- 

 titled to rank as a family, the genera composing it 

 being Malachius of Fabricius, and Laius of Guerin. 

 I consider these genera merely as Melyridae, and
