The locality for both these species, which has been left out, is Madagascar. Hemixantha piceipes Jac. Fig. 6 in Plate xxi. of the P.Z. S. 1899 represents a variety of this species, not H. terminata as erroneously given. Longitarsus africanus Jac. (P.Z. S. 1897, p. 555). Of this species more specimens have kindly been sent by Mr. Marshall, which prove the insect to vary greatly in coloration ; some of the specimens are piceous above, and others nearly black, with the apex of tbe elytra flavous ; I may also add to my original description, that the last joint of the antennae is in nearly every case fuscous. GUdionychis natalensis Baly. This species is identical with Physodactyla africana Dej. (Edionychis rugicollis Jac. GJclionychis africana Jac. : this species is an Eutornus, and the specific name must be altered to clarki on account of Eutornus africanus Clark. Both these species, on account of their short and robust antennae, should find their places in Eutornus Clark. EXPLANATION OF PLATE XX. Fig. 1. Lamia capitata, p. 207. 2. „ frontalis, p. 208. 3.

BLANFORD, Esq., LL.D., F.R.S., Vice-President, in the Chair. Prof. Bell drew attention to a collection of Land-Planarians made by the Society's Corresponding Member, Dr. Goeldi of Para. These, like many other collections of Land-Planarians, had been confided for description to Prof. Graff, and some of them were the types of new species described by that author iu his magnificent monograph. The collection before the Society had been sent to |
