Two synonymical remarks about Curculionidae

1. Macropterus Verlorenii S. v. V. (Tijdschr. v. Entom. XIV (1871). p. 101; pl. 4, fig. 1) from Timor = Cercophorus floccosus Chevrol. (Ann. Soc. Ent. France; 1880. p. 259, fig.) from the same island. 2. Rhynchophorus (Calandra) rubigineus Wiedem. (Mag. Zool. I, 3. 1819. p. 174) and Gyllenhal (Schönh., Gen. Curc. IV. p. 824) = Rhynchophorus elegans Guér. (Icon. Règne anim. Ins. p. 176; 1843). — Notwithstanding Chevrolat (Ann. Soc. Ent. France. 1882. p. 564) created a new genus, viz. Paratasis, for the reception of Rhynchophorus rubigineus (erroneously called by him rubiginosus), its synonym elegans occurs as the first Indian species in the genus Rhynchophorus (l. c. p. 560).
