Taken in January (Chulumani), February (Santa Lucia, Escuintla), April and May 
(Atoyac), June (Tablazo), August (Onaca), November (Chulumani), and December 
(Onaca). It is of interest to note that at Santa Lucia, on February 2, 1905, were taken 
three males of vider and one male of angustipennis. 
The identity of vider, Hagen, and merida, Selys, seemed probable to Hagen 2, and I 
have come to the same conclusion from a study of his description! (especially his 
mention of only one yellow stripe on the thoracic dorsum as contrasted with three 
yellow “lines” in angustipennis), the Bogoté specimens with McLachlan’s label 
“ merida,” and a photograph of the wings of a specimen of merida in the Selysian 
collection sent me by Dr, Ris. After several attempts, neither Mr. Henshaw nor 
myself has been able to find Hagen’s type of vibex at Cambridge. I do not, however, 
understand the remark at the conclusion of his description !, p, 160, on the “ posterior 
lobe of the prothorax” and the “ external hamule.” ©

Two species of this genus are known, differing, apparently, only in size and in the 
terminal appendages of the males. Even these are rather differences of degree, and I 
anticipate that a fuller series of specimens may demonstrate that they are but two 
extremes of a continuous line of variation. Dr. Ris has, indeed, sent me a male which 
supports such a view, although it is nearer to guttata than to normalis. The differences 
alluded to are :— 
Superior appendages of the male equal to, or shorter than, abdominal segments 
94-10, with an inferior tooth at half-length, the distal half curved upward and 
forming an angle of about 185° or more with the proximal half; inferior 
appendage reaching to about two-thirds length of the superiors. Abdomen, 
Sd 21:5-23, 2 19-20; hind wing, ¢ 22-26, 2? 21°5-24; pterostigma, front 
wing 2-25 mm... . . 2. + + es toe ee ee ew ee CL normailis.
