Two of the species described below were discovered very recently and constitute a very interesting addition to our Melyrid fauna. The individuals or units of a species vary more or less and this variation makes the work of the taxonomist rather uncertain and difficult as regards the characterization of a species, until considerable series has been studied from some single locality. When a knowledge of the range and degree of variation has once been obtained, the systematist can proceed with greater confidence as regards the status of the species he describes. Collectors should bear in mind the need of series for the study of variation.
