1.	Mesochra flava as redescribed by Soyer (1977) differs from the original description of Lang (1933). As his material is not from the type locality Soyer's specimens must be considered only as showing that there is some geographic variability in the species. Therefore a second codon is required for this species in KGG 100 (p. 137)— 7/3/6:7:7/4:5/6:5/4:6.
2.	Mesochra pallaresi Soyer, 1977, is described for Pallares' (1968, 1975) specimens of M. flava. M. pallaresi must be added to the original codon for M. flava — 7/3/6:7:7/5:5/6:5/3:6 (KGG 100, p.137) ; add an appropriate note in General Note 3 (p.139).
