Megapenthes limbalis Hbst., is the male, and grauulosns the 

 female of the same species. Mr. M. Lim-11 informs me that they 

 have several times been taken in copulation by himself and others. 

 Certainly, all the- specimens I have seen confirm this, as the one 

 is always male the other female. 



Corymbites injlatus Say, is the male, and crassns the female of 

 the same species. To Mr. Frederick Hlanchard this information 

 is due, and he has made the same observation here as has been 

 made in the preceding species.
