Rye (Ent. Mo. Mag. v. p. 218) refers to the Donacia yenicidata and 1). 
Icericollis of Thomson, and comments upon that author’s repudiation of sericea 
(Linn.) for the latter, and his apparent ignorance of the identity of the 
former with D. comari (Sutfi-.). 
SuFFRiAN (Stettin, ent. Zeit. 1869, p. 47) comments upon Stein’s sup- 
pression in his catalogue of D. comari as a var. of D. sericea, and gives nu- 
merous distinctive characters for the former. He also remarks upon the 
Donacia aquatica of Linnaeus, the types of which, in the Linnaean Coll., are 
D. comari, with which the description of aquatica does not agree. 
Kraatz (Berl. ent. Zeit. xiii. 267) refers at great length to the characters 
of D. sericea and comari. He considers comari as most probably a var. of 
(Kunze), and at the same time quotes (Kunze), with a query, 
as a var. of sericea (Linn.). The only point of real bearing upon the question 
that he adduces is the capture, by himself, near Berlin, of specimens of 
sericea exhibiting the characters in the lower joints of the antennae relied 
upon by Suftrian for his comari ; but he appears not to be fully convinced of 
the correctness of his own opinion on the question. 
Donacia simplicifrcms (Lac.) and brevicornis (Gyll., Thoms.)= 
(Kunze), according to Kraatz (/. c. p. 202), who has examined two of Schup- 
pell’s types, from which Kunze described his species. D. yracUis (Suflr.) 
Kraatz considers is probably the <S of aniiqua.
