SOME NEW SYNONYMS IN CLYTRINAE
(COLEOPTERA, CHRYSOMELIDAE)
BY F. MONROS
Universidad Nacional de TucumAn, Argentina I list some new synonyms in Clytrinae, which have been established in the course of my work in connection with Junk's second edition of the "Coleopterorum Catalogus". Not all the names in this list are plain synonyms ; in most cases they represent different color patterns or minor dif- ferences in size and microsculpture which tend to be lost in large series. In my opinion, none of these differences is of either specific or subspecific value. I have seen specimens (in several cases types or speci- mens from the typical series and typical locality) of all the names listed below.
Macrolenes (Plecomera) quadraticollis Lacord. from South Africa. Lacordaire, 1848, Mon. Phyt. 11, p. 105 8. = M. (P.) varipes Jacoby, 1901, Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond., 1901, p. 217, pi. 10, f. 5.
Antipus (Gyriodera) cruciata (Thunb.) from South Africa. Thunberg, 1821, Nova Acta Upsala, 8, p. 184. = A. (G.) clitellata Lacordaire, 1848, Mon. Phyt. 11, p. 124.

Diapromorpha (Peploptera) postica Lacord. from equa- torial Africa. Lacordaire, l.~., p. 251. = D. (P.) arcuata Clavareau in Jacoby and Clavareau, 1906, Gen. Ins., fasc. 49, p. 28, footnote. Diapromorpha (Peploptera) trilineata Lacord. from South Africa. Lacordaire, 1848, Mon. Phyt. 11, p. 246. = D. (P.) schenklingi Clavareau, 1909, Ann. So,c. Ent. Belg., 53, p. 386.
