Experience shows that it is not advisable to regard as mere 

 synonyms species that have been described, or figured, but which can- 

 not be easily recognised. I prefer to call attention in this case to 

 the two following names given to species, regarded as new, by 

 Gregson (who was a very observant collector), in the hope that those 

 who have the opportunity may endeavour to discover the grounds on 

 which he separated them from the already named species in our 



collections.
