 si(tur((ll,s Burmeister it is separable by the crenulate character of the 

 internal margin of the female forceps, as well as the smaller size.

'^ Dr. Wood has very kindly given me the following information regarding the 

 specimens collected by him in Japan: My collections were all made in the district 

 bounded by Kioto on the south and Nikko or Tokio on the north, going well back 

 into the center of the country, as we made the trip along the Nakasendo road, the 

 old highroad in Japan between Nortli and South Japan, running along the central 

 ridge of the island.
