NiTIDULIDiE. 
Murray changes the name of his Amphicrossus hicolor to A. castaneus, as 
Leconte has an A. hicolor. He also proposes the name of Grammorus for 
Grnmmophorus (Gerst.), the latter name being preoccupied. Col. Ilefto, iv. 
p. 104. 
Lohiopa setnlosa (Lee.) changed to setosa by Harold (Col. Hefte, iv. p. 104) 
on account of L. setnlosa (Erichs.). 
Paromia ivestwoodi (Dohrn). Eedtenhacher refers to some characters in 
Dohrn’s description, confirmed by specimens, which render it doubtful whether 
the species figured by Westwood as P. dorcoicles may not be distinct (Heise 
dei’ Novara, Zool. ii. Col. p. 35).
