I am not positive that this is typical C. thura; it agrees in a general 

 way with descriptions of the female of that species, but difters enough 

 to raise a doubt in mj- mind as to its proi)er place. Having no speci- 

 mens of C. thura with which to compare it, and tinding no description 

 of the immature male, I am obliged to leave the matter unsettled.

 men, 0.50.
