The type oip&rconflua is like the type ofjuctinflu, and Mr. Grote's name 

 sinks. Perconflua is undoubtedly the species Mr. Grote has written 

 of as conf.ua; but the specimen in the British Museum, labeled conflua 

 by Mr. Grote, is rubifcra. The type of esuria.Ua, also in the Museum, 

 is without doubt the same species, differing only in that the orbicular 

 is imperfectly closed superiorly, and the cell between the ordinary 

 spots more prominent than usual. The specimen is from Washington, 

 and is perhaps a good geographical race.
