My Synopsis Specierum was printed before I was 

 aware that there were other species, besides j4. meU 

 lifica, belonging to this section, and all distinguished 

 by "Plantac posticae intus transverse striatse;" other- 

 wise I should have excluded this character from 

 my definition of the neuter.
