' The specimens recorded by the writer from Mazatlan as Lactista gibhosuf 

 {Trans. Amer. Ent. Soc, XXIX, p. 10) are a species of Tomonotus, and in all 

 probaliility T. mexicanus. The individuals there recorded had been dried from 

 alcohol and many characters exliiliited by them are misleading. The receipt of 

 a specimen of true L. gibbosus from California (Claremont: C. F. Baker) caused 

 me to make a second studv with the above results.
