 locate Mr. Grote's type. Mr. Grote described from a number of speci-

 sexes and not to distinct varieties.

Guenee's type came from the Coll. Feisthamel — where that is at pres- 

 ent, 1 can not say. The whereabouts of the Grote & Hobiiison type is

The type of this sitecies is in the British Museum. The foretibia^. 

 have one inner and one outer claw or spine, ^^'ing form oi >Sch in ia. 

 Looks like an AJetia at first sight, with a small black orbicular, and a 

 black, white-lined reniform. I am not at all sure that I had this sx)ecies 

 before me in 1883, and at all events have not had it since.
