(Concluded from page 246.) 
The name Lamproplax is now submitted by us, instead of Lampro- 
nofiis, for the genus characterized at p. 243 of the present Yolume, the 
latter name having been previously used by Curtis in the Hymenoptera. 
L. SJiarpi is possibly identical witb JPacJii/merus (P.) piceus, Flor, 
Rhynch. Liv,. i, 251, a species which Fieber admits as distinct, and 
refers to his genus Megalonotus {Bhypiarachromus, Curtis), Wien. Ent. 
Mouats., vii, 55 ; but it does not agree with the characters of that genus.
