  We 
  are 
  glad 
  to 
  have 
  an 
  opportunity 
  of 
  figuring 
  the 
  female 
  of 
  this 
  interesting 
  species 
  from 
  

   a 
  specimen 
  belonging 
  to 
  Dr. 
  Staudiuger. 
  We 
  regret 
  that 
  through 
  some 
  error 
  in 
  numbering, 
  the 
  

   name 
  E. 
  Leotiina 
  was 
  incorrectly 
  applied 
  to 
  the 
  specimen, 
  and 
  it 
  has 
  cousequently 
  been 
  figured 
  

   under 
  that 
  name 
  on 
  the 
  accompanying 
  plate.
