Remarks. — A paratype of Pilumnus crosslandi Finnegan ( 1931 ) was 

 examined through the courtesy of Dr. Isabella Gordon of the British 

 Museum and later referred to Dr. Fenner A. Chace of Harvard MCZ 

 for comparison with cotypes of Stimpson's P. xantusii. Dr. Chace finds 

 agreement in all points but the degree of armature of the upper orbit, 

 a character variable in the 8 cotypes at hand. In all other respects he 

 reports the species indistinguishable. 



Through the courtesy of Miss Jocelyn Crane of the New York Zoo- 

 logical Society, the specimen figured by Boone ( 1927, fig. 87B) as Eriphi- 

 des hispidaj young, has been examined and found to be a well-developed 

 male specimen of Pilumnus xantusii.
