136 THE KNTOMOLOGIST, 



man's note on the Eeazzino Melitaa in the March number of the 

 Ent. Eecord, p. 71. Those who have followed my papers on this 

 group will be aware of the grounds on which I pronounced this 

 to be britomartis, Assmann. They still appear to me to be amply 

 sufficient, which I cannot say for the grounds of Dr. Chapman's 

 "correction." I shall, however, take the whole question of the 

 genitalia of the group next, explaining my attitude towards the 

 whole question, and the uses and abuses to which, in my 

 opinion, this method of determination of species may be put, 

 as illustrated by the group at present under discussion.
