We have recently placed Saussure and Zehntner 's variety 

 minor as an absolute synonym of this species. ^^ 



The ootheca appears to be of the same general type as that 

 deposited by species of the genus SiagnionKintis, though much 

 larger than any we have seen rc^feral^le to that genus.

Careful (;omparison of a series of eighlceii sjx'cinicns before 

 us, representing localities from Mexico to C()lom])ia, offers 

 convincing evidence of the synonymy indicated above, cornuta
