Guen6e's type is in the Britisli Museum, Mr. Grote, III. Essay, 45, 

 refers P. mohilis Wlk., 0. B. M., Het., x, 277, as a synonym to this 

 species, but I think incorrectly so. Walker's type is from the West 

 Indies and differs quite evidently from our specimens. It may i trove 

 a geographical race eventually, but the material is not yet at hand to 

 decide this positively. Tlie type of c)iix(( is also in the Britisli Museum, 

 and without a large amount of material certainly looks like a. distinct 

 species.

The types of all the names are in the British Museum, and idl refer 

 to the same species. Mr. Grote's suggestion that Walker's name be 

 abandoned because already used in an allied genus is settled by Gueuee's 

 taking it. Vecors had-not been identified heretofore.
