Helopides.
Helops azureus (Montr, nee BrulhS) is changed to azureonitcm, H. congener,
(Woll. nee Reiche) to conformis, H. quisqui/ius (F. nee L.) to fabricii, H. gibbicollis
(Kiist. nee Fald.) to gibbithorax, H. punctipennis (Lee nee Luc.) to

Helops. KRAATZ (B. E. Z. xiv. Beih. p. 136) briefly characterizes the 3
pubescent species of this genus found in Spain and Algiers. The same author
(1. c. p. 139, note) enumerates 16 spp. of Helops found in South Spain, and
already recorded.
KRAATZ (I. c. p. 142, note) remarks upon the error in de Marseul's Cat. ed.
2, in attributing Nephodes metallescens, Kiist, as a var. to N. villiger, Rosenh,
the latter having been (inKraatz's opinion, wrongly) described as probably a
var. of the former; he also notes the still greater error in De Mars. Cat,
1866, wherefrom metallescens is entirely omitted.
The type given by Lacordaire (carbonarius, Kl.) for the genus Hoplonyx
(Oplocheirus, Dj.) does not accord with the generic characters given: Schaufuss,
Nunq. Otios. p. 62.

C. H. vi. p. 123.
