Gymnetrides. 
Gymnetron. H. Brisout de Barneville (Ann. Soc. Ent. Er. ~4® s6r. v. 
pp. 620-624) publishes some notes on this genus, containing supplementary 
remarks and corrections to his monograph of the European species. At 
p. 622 he makes some corrections in the characters of his first and second 
groups, and notes that in the third the claws are simple — a character which, 
added to the others peculiar to this group, leads him to think that it may he 
reestablished as a genus (CleopuSy Sufi*. = MiartiSj Steph.). He also gives 
a corrected table of the first subdivision of his group 11, and of the characters 
of O. longirostris (Gyll.) and scutellaris (Bris.), l.c. p. 623. The following 
synonymic corrections are indicated : — G. concinnus (Gyll.) = heccahungca 
(Linn.); G. perparvulus (Boh.) = (Germ.); G. plagxatus 
=var. asellus (Grav.); G. plagiellus (Gyll.) = teter (Fab.); G. trigonalis 
(Gyll.) = teter (Fab.) ; G. distinctus (Schaum) is specifically distinct from 
G. scutellaris (Bris.). The paper also includes notes on tlie food-plants, loca- 
lities, and characters of several other species.

Acalles. According to H. Brisout de Barneville (Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 4® 
S(5r. V. pp. 624-625), A. dromedarius (Boh.) = faseicxdatus (Boh.), A, 
quercus (Boh.) = camelus (Fab.), A. barharus (Luc.) = teter (Boh.), and 
A. querilhaci (Bris.) is a distinct species.
