Saussure, in 1897, described Nemohius hastatus, basing that species 

 on a single female from Mexico City.^^ Careful examination of this 

 tjTJe proves it to be a synonym of the present geographic race of 

 fasciatus. The specimen is of exceptionally small size, but Saussure's 

 error was caused by his misconception of De Geer's fasciatus in the 

 same paper, for the specimens which he there regards as that species 

 belong in fact to the very different hrasilieyisis of Walker, and conse- 

 quently he looked upon the specimen under consideration as new. 



Specimens Examined. — 274: 108 males, 157 females, and 9 nymphs.

'^ This locality is wronglj'^ given with the original description in the Biologia 

 as Ciudad in Durango. 



3' This large series is of particular interest owing to the great amount of varia- 

 tion shown not only in size, but also in color. As the locaUty would suggest, the 

 present series contains many intermediates between fasciatus and fasciatus socius.
