Remarks. — The characters of this species have been well treated by 

 Davis (1940a, 1942), and the writer is presenting figures only of the 

 head and left tergal process at this time. 



The Venezuela specimen upon which Krauss based his flaviGoUis ap- 

 pears to be very similar to one before the writer, wdiich may prove to 

 represent a distinct subspecies. Should such a subspecies be described, 

 Krauss's specimen would become its type, with a new name proposed 

 to replace fiavicoUis Krauss, which is a secondary homonym. 



In addition to the above recorded Trinidad specimens, the writer 

 has before him several specimens from mainland localities which are 

 distinct in several features, particularly in the form of the left tergal 

 process and head. Should such features appear constant in series, 

 in relation to geographic distribution, the specimens may be regarded 

 as subspecies of trinitatis. For the present they are discussed below 

 with accompanying figures, but not named. 



1. One male, Caracas, Venezuela, collected in plant quarantine at 

 Washington, D. C, ISIay 3, 1939, in a shipment of CattUya (U.S.N.M.) . 



This male dijffers from those from Trinidad in its larger, more elon- 

 gate head (fig. 23 vs. 29) with much smaller eyes; the sides behind the 

 eyes are longer, more arcuate, but much less convergent; the caudal 

 margin is somewhat acutely rounded medially, and laterally continu- 

 ously arcuate with the sides. The left tergal process (10 LP) (fig. 

 24A) appears to be larger and to differ in shape. The much larger 

 size (length 11.5 mm.; forewing length 7.5 mm., breadth 2 mm.) may 

 prove to be an additional characteristic. 



The entire terminalia, dorsal and ventral aspects, are shown in the 

 accompanying figures (figs. 24, 25) . As pointed out above, this speci- 

 men is probably taxonomically identical to the type of OUgotonia 

 ■fiavicoUis Krauss.
