Ollilf, P. Linn. Soc. N. S. W. x. pp. 69-71, gives the following 
synonymy in reference to Walker’s descriptions of Ceylon Coleoptera, 
assigned by him to this family : —Carpophilus biguttatus , Motsch., = 
Nitidula contegen *, Walk. ; Nitidula intenclens, Walk, — Raptoncus 
pubescens , Murr. ; N. significans , Walk., = H. tetragonus, Murr. ; N. ? 
tomentifera , Walk., = CEthriostoma unclulata , Motsch., Dermestidce ; 
Nitidulopsis cequalis , Walk., = Brachypeplus omalinus , Murr. ; Rhizo- 
phagus parcdlelus , Walk., = Nansibius clentatus , Marsh., Cucujidce ; 
Nitidula submaculata , Walk., = Epurcea sp. ; Meligethes respondent , 
Walk., = Idcethina , sub Macroura , nigritula, Reitt. Walker’s Tritoma 
bifacies \_Diaperidce !] and his Chilocorus opponens [Coccinellidce !] are 
both the same species of Ccimptocles , which Olliff proposes to call 
Ccimptodes bifacies , and which = Ccimptocles orncitus, Motsch. 
Brachypterus liniarice, St., = laticollis, Kust. ; B. glaber , Newm.. = 
meriodionalis, Kust. : Reitt., Wien. ent. Z. iv. p. 315.
