29. DASYVTILUS. 385 



I have compared with the following specimens two others pre- 

 served in the Museum of Cambridge. I cannot confirm the other 

 distinctive characters mentioned in the original descriptions of this 

 species, such as the wing being longer than in 0. barlclyi and the 

 ear-coverts darker.
