N .B. — The above table of species is by no means satisfactory 

 to me as sufficiently distinguishing them, but in the present un- 

 certain knowledge as to the limits of each, it is the best that 

 I can offer.

N.B. — For the numerous descriptions of this species under 

 the specific name calcitrans, see the recent Catalogue of Palaearctic
