C. nifiriccps is not Fairmaire’s species, but identical with C. peirolerii (Bassi) ; 
and C. nigriceps (Fairni.), as indicated by types communicated by Fairmaire 
himself, = C. ludovicce (Muls.), which is here described (p. 98) by Suflrian. 
SuFFRiAN (Stett, ent. Zeit. 18G6, pp. 205-207) remarks on the following 
species of Chrysomelides ; — Pachyhrachiis mccrens (StSl), described as a Bra- 
zilian species (Fab.) from North America; Cryptoccphalus mucoreus 
(Lec.) = 6a5«/^s (Sturm) ; C. inexspectus (F&hm.) = margmellus (Oliv.), var. ; 
C. ahictinus (Gaut.) = carm^/wacws (Suffr.) ; C. perrieri (YQhm..)=olholmeaUis 
(Suffr.) ; and C. rhcuticus (Stierl.) = ^-pustxdatus (Gyll.), var. SufFrian 
notices the statement of Gautier des Cottes, that C. cyanipes (Bcj., Suflr.) is 
the 2 of lohatus (Fab.), and observes that Gautier has probably mistaken 
the cT of C. cyanipes for C. lohatus. 
The characters of Lina collaris (Linn.) and alpina (Zett.), regarded by him 
as belonging to one species, are discussed by L. von Heyden (Stett. ent. Zeit. 
1866, p. 267). He also indicates the peculiarities of examples of L. lapponica 
(Linn.) from Finmark {1. c. p. 258).

ent. Zeits. 1866, p. 291. 
Fairmaire (Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 4® S(5r. tome vi. pp. 71-72) describes Gxjnan- 
drophthalnia rujimana (Lac.) and gratiosa (Luc.) and Melitonoma sobrina 
(Lac.). The latter, a Senegal species, extends northward to Tunis. 
Crotch (Entomologist, iii. pp. 137 & 173) remarks on the following species
