eleven females to the form striata, and four females to the form viridisJ 

 Of the Luebo specimens the male belongs to the pustvlata form and 

 the tliree females to the striata type. 



As measurements of the above series may prove of service in 

 studying the amount of geographic and individual variation in size 

 in this species, I append a table of the dimensions.

^{y study of this and other material causes me to indorse Werner's 



• treatment of gastrica Gerstaecker, hicarinata Saussure, l-ersteni Stkl, 



and chriMliia Kirby aa synonyms of this species.- Regarding rudolfse, 



however, I must difl'er, as it appears to represent a southern form of 



the bioculata type.' 



As the gi'eater portion of the above series has been in alcohol, we 

 can not give any notes on color variation.
