Helops. KiiAATz (B. E. Z. xiv. Beih. p. 136) briefly characterizes the 3 
pubescent species of this genus found in Spain and Algiers. The same author 
(/. c. p. 139, note) enumerates 10 spp. of Helops found in South Spain, and 
already recorded. 
^ Kuaatz (/. c. p. 142, note) remarks upon the error in do Marseul’s Cat. cd. 
2, in attributing Nephodes metallescens, Kiist., as a var. to N. villiger, Bosenh., 
the latter haying been (in Kraatz’s opinion, wrongly) described as probably a 
yar. of the former ; he also notes the still greater error in Be Mars. Cat., 
1866, wherefrom metallescens is entirely omitted.
