The above sixteen genera apparently belong to 

 the Nitidulidae, without we separate those named 

 by Laporte, Cormyphora and Cerophorus. The 

 name of Anisocera Howitt, must be changed, as 

 it is previously used by Mr. Westwood. 



Species of Fabrician Nitidula. 



Sp. 5. Abbreviata. — It is likely that this insect 

 belongs to a new genus. I leave it as a Nitidula 

 for the present, the Banksian specimen being too 

 imperfect to describe. Olivier's figure does not 

 well represent the original insect. 



Sp. 23. Dlscoides — Read Discoidea. 



Sp. 25. 6-pustulata. — According to Iliiger this 

 is Lyctus abbreviatus of Panzer. By the Baron 

 De Jean it is considered as an Ips. Vid. Laporte, 

 p. 11, vol. 2. 



Sp. 27. Litura. — According to Iliiger this was 

 a Coccinella; it is at present arranged by Mr. 

 Stephens under his genus Rhyzobius. 



Sp. 33. Quadrata.— Schonherr refers this species
