I have not seen any specimens of the typical pidus with the divari- 

 cating irregular coloration, but I strongly suspect that L. rubellus 

 Sower by may be identical with it. The known range is the same. 

 Davidson states that rubellus is distinguished from pidus by "its 

 straight or slightly indented front." He also says that the colors in 

 the figure given by Sowerby in the Thesaurus are exaggerated. I 

 have numerous specimens as bright as Sowerby's figure, and while 

 the front edge usually shows straight, there is sufficient variation to 

 enable one to find numerous individuals of ruhellus with a rounded 

 front. However, I have no typical specimens of pidus and therefore 

 I refrain from tmiting them, but the question is worthy of careful 

 examination. As far as I have been able to discover, Dillwyn was 

 the first to give validity to Chemnitz' name.

When I described this species I had no specimens of L. rubellus 

 for comparison, and yielded to the opinion of Mr. Davidson, that it 

 was a pale variety of L. rubellus, or as he afterwards concluded of L.
