F. \V. EDWARDS. 



specimens agree in otber respects, including genital stnicture. with A. obtwbans. 

 There can be little doubt therefore that A. 'panalectoros is only a form of A. obturbans, 

 although the tyj)e male from which Giles described it is apparently lost. 



The genitalia of A. obhirbans are shown in fig. 2 ; as will be seen by comparison of 

 this with Theol)ald's figure (Mon. Cul. iii, p. 138), the latter is very inaccurate.

Differs from A. obturbans by the characters indicated in the key, and also in the male 

 genitaha, as follows : — Side-pieces rather shorter and stouter, their basal lobes with 

 three flattened spiny bristles, nuich as in A. huchingensis ; claspers with a distinct 

 swelling on the flexor surface a Uttle beyond the middle.
