This pamphlet, originally intended for Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr., but with- 
drawn and published separately by the author under the above date, has 
hitherto escaped notice in Zool. Rec. It is a supplement to the same 
author’s former memoir in R. Z. 1874 ; and contains the following 
synonymical and other observations: — Cymatodera ovipennis, Lee., = 
angustata, Spin. ; Priocera modesta, Spin., has nothing to do with C. 
prolixaj Kl., being an Opilo ; 0. preeustus, Chev., = apicalis, Chev. ; 0. 
cribripennis, Boisd., is a Natalis ; Serriger coffini^ White, is a Sallea ; 
Clcrus faber, Chev., = artifex, Spin. ; C. scapularis, Chev., = Corynetes 
pectoralis, Kl. ; Tarsostenus univittatus from Colombia ; Zenithicola 
falgens, Chev., = Chalciclerus pulcher, Newm., and the genus should 
stand ; Trichodes affinis, alvearius, and apiarius, and Pelonium apicale, 
varr., described ; Lemidia accinsus, Newm., = inanis, Germ., and xaniho- 
zona, Chev., is probably a sex of it ; Pelonium fulvicolle^ Luc., = fugax ; 
Othnius mexkanus^ Chev., was described before by Horn. Some of Horn’s 
identifications are given, with a few locality notices, corrections of Cata- 
logue references, &c. 
The following new genera and species are characterized : — 
Poacilochroa, p. 5. No differential characters suggested. For Clerus 
cyanipenniSy Kl., dasytoides. White, and thoracicus, 01. ; also P. haagi, 
p. 12, N. America. 
TarandoceruSy p. 7. The author employs this name for the males of 
Platynoptera lycoideSy Spin., Chariassa pilosay Forst., and Pelonium semi- 
nigrumy Chev., of which the antennal club is very long, flattened, com- 
posed of three narrow, elongate, imbricated joints. Possibly, from the 
context, intended as a sub-genus of Pelonium.
