THE SPECIES OF THE GENUS IXO OF LEACH. 105 



I kept these well supplied with moisture, and on the *28th 

 June the first imago, a $ , appeared ; and, after some days, 

 the second. The two other pupse both died. At the beginning 

 of July, when I wished to collect these At^rhice in the per- 

 fect state in the same locality, the meadow had already been 

 mown, and my excursion thither was in vain. 



I have therefore of this species only two Glogau females. 

 They are throughout specifically distinct from the Glohu- 

 larice which I have from Mann, from the neighbourhood of 

 Vienna, and of which I possess two females. The latter 

 have the antennae much thicker, rather club-formed and 

 shorter ; whereas, in the Glogau specimens, the antenna 

 are longer, thin and filiform, and terminate in a longer 

 point. Therein my specimens resemble Hiibner's figure 

 of Globularice, fig. 3, only that in that they are too thick 

 towards the base ; besides they resemble a $ which I received 

 from Jena as GlohularicCf and I am inclined to consider 

 them identical, although the Jena specimen has rather 

 broader anterior wings. 



Not knowing the male of my Glogau specimens, and being 

 still very doubtful as to the name Glohularice (since I cannot 

 consider my Vienna specimens identical with Hiibner's Glo- 

 hularice), I defer for the pi'esent giving the species a dis- 

 tinctive appellation. Certainly the separation of species of 

 Aty cilia is by no means easy, and one is much too easily 

 satisfied with the Ochsenheimerian tradition of only three 

 species, Globularice, StaticeSj and Pruni. Atychia Pruni 

 itself may easily be a mixture of species ; since the species 

 which bears that name with us lives exclusively on heather 

 near Glogau.
