  I 
  have 
  described 
  this 
  as 
  a 
  distinct 
  species, 
  it 
  is 
  not 
  improbable 
  that 
  it 
  may 
  be 
  the 
  

   male 
  of 
  H. 
  Thcotiides, 
  only 
  the 
  female 
  of 
  which 
  species 
  is 
  at 
  present 
  known. 
  It 
  comes 
  from 
  the 
  

   same 
  island.
