 One example ( 2) has the labial palpus (only one present) sliort, 

 straight, droopiisg, pointed (ins-teiid of the normal very long recurved 

 form), a singular abnormality of which I have never seen any 

 similar instance ; the specimen is quite normal in neuration, an- 

 tennfB, and colouring, and comes from the same locality (Santarenr) 

 as four of the others ; I am satisfied that it is truly the same 

 species, and not a case of mimicry from another genus.
