The relation of these forms to each other is fully discussed in my 

 paper in Proc. U. S. N. Mus., above cited.

The recent discussion on the location of this genus is not referred to. 

 Vein 5 of secondaries is very faint, but yet distinctly present. In my 

 original description, made from a fresh slide, the thin balsam had ob- 

 literated the vein. The ease with which such errors are made in the 

 venation is illustrated by the fact that ever since Herrich-Schaeffer first 

 used venation as a basis for family characters, Ino has been credited with 

 three internal veins, by even the best European students. I was the first 

 to demonstrate by bleaching the wings and mounting in balsam, that one 

 of these veins was a mere fold ; on the other hand, this method has the 

 disadvantage of obscuring the recognition of weak veins, and I was caught 

 napping in this genus. My figures of venation in the Proc. U. S. N. 

 Mus., are from camera drawings, and vein 5 was not apparent there. 

 The presence or absence of the vein, is, however, immaterial so far as 

 any influence over the family reference is concerned. 



The species is from Texas.
