  We 
  have 
  had 
  the 
  opportunity 
  of 
  examining 
  the 
  type 
  specimen 
  of 
  

   Lutevopsis 
  muscicapa 
  Bergroth 
  through 
  the 
  kindness 
  of 
  its 
  describer 
  

   and 
  find 
  that 
  it 
  falls 
  in 
  the 
  same 
  genus 
  as 
  longimanus 
  though 
  the 
  

   spines 
  on 
  fore 
  femur 
  do 
  not 
  extend 
  as 
  near 
  to 
  base, 
  and 
  the 
  fore 
  tibia 
  

   is 
  a 
  little 
  less 
  than 
  two-thirds 
  as 
  long 
  as 
  fore 
  femur. 
  It 
  is 
  a 
  much 
  

   darker 
  species 
  than 
  the 
  genotype, 
  being 
  brownish 
  fuscous, 
  with 
  yel- 
  

   lowish 
  apical 
  annulus 
  on 
  each 
  hind 
  femur 
  (mid 
  femora 
  missing). 
  

   Doctor 
  Bergroth 
  has 
  expressed 
  a 
  doubt 
  as 
  to 
  the 
  region 
  from 
  which 
  

   this 
  species 
  came. 
  It 
  is 
  labelled 
  " 
  Borneo," 
  but 
  he 
  suspects 
  that 
  it 
  

   may 
  really 
  be 
  South 
  American.

  Since 
  the 
  fate 
  of 
  the 
  Fabrician 
  genus 
  Emesa 
  and 
  its 
  component 
  

   species 
  underlies 
  the 
  nomenclature 
  of 
  the 
  whole 
  subfamily 
  it 
  may 
  be 
  

   well 
  to 
  give 
  here 
  a 
  rather 
  full 
  discussion 
  of 
  the 
  subject. 
  

  

  The 
  genus 
  Emesa 
  originally 
  included 
  the 
  following 
  four 
  species 
  

   at 
  the 
  pages 
  indicated 
  in 
  the 
  Systema 
  Rliyngotorum.
