Newport supposed , though upon what grounds is not appa- 

 rent, that the specimen he described as Platops hardwickii was 

 from India. In reality it is specifically identical with the exam- 

 ples of Callipns that Mr. Thomas obtained from Liguria. That 

 these specimens are cospecific with those that Savi described 

 as foelidis'iimum , I have no doubt 



My reason for calling in question Berlese's identification of 

 this species is that the figure he has published of the copulatory 

 feet does not represent the form of this apparatus. 



In most species of Callipus the number of segments is 

 very nearly constant; but it is an interesting fact that in foeti- 

 dissimum there is considerable variation in this character.
