Austr. vol. p. 295 (1866); S. Afr. Butt. vol. iii. p. 274 (1889). Baracus lepeletierii, Watson, P. Z. S 1893, p. 114. Hab. Southern Africa. It is with some hesitation that I decline to accept the reference of this and the two following species to Moore's genus Baracus, made by Mr. Watson. The thoroughness of Mr. Watson's work should give great weight to his opinions, but in this case, after a careful examination of typical specimens of C. lepeletierii and its three congeners, which have been placed in Baracus, I am compelled to conclude that the differences are too slight in fact to warrant such a departure from the hitherto received classification of the insects. 162. C. INORNATUS, Trim. Cyclopides inornatus, Trim. Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. (3) vol. ii. p. 179 (1864); Rhop. Afr. Austr. vol. ii. p. 295, pi. v. fig. 11 (1866) ; S. Afr. Butt. vol. iii. p. 277. Baracus inornatus, Watson, P. Z. S. 1893, p. 114. Hab. South Africa. 163. C. ANOMJEUS, Ploetz. (Plate I. fig. 6.) Apaustus anomceus, Ploetz, S. E. Z. vol. xl. p. 358 (1879), vol xlv. p. 152. Hab. Aburi (Ploetz). The type is preserved in the Berlin Museum. A good specimen is contained in the collection of Dr. Staudinger, to which Mons. Mabille has affixed the manuscript name " acosimus." 164. C. TSITA, Trim. Cyclopides tsita, Trim. Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1870, p. 386, pi. vi. fig. 13; S. Afr. Butt. vol. iii. p. 276. Baracus tsita, Watson, P. Z. S. 1893, p. 114. Steropes monochromus, Mab. C. R. Soc. Ent. Belg. 1891, p. lxiv. Hab. South Africa. 165. C. ARGENTEOGUTTA, Butl. Cyclopides argenteogutta, Butl. Lepid. Exot. p. 188, pi. lxiv. fig. 8. Hab. Nubia (Butler). From the figure given by Dr. Butler it appears a little doubtful whether this species is a true Cyclopides. 166. C. (?) PAOLA, Ploetz. Cyclopides paola, Ploetz, S. E. Z. vol. xlv. pp. 391-2 (1884). Hab. Angola (Ploetz). I doubt the reference of this species to Cyclopides. The |
