Canon Fowler has identified and figured a specimen as 

 belonging to my species, and has then indulged in some 

 criticism on my description. This is unfortunate, as two 

 specimens forwarded to me by Prof Biolley exactly corre- 

 spond with the description I gave of the Costa Rican type, 

 examined by Fowler and pronounced a " poor example." 

 He also writes, "Mr. Distant is also wrong with regard 

 to the tegmina which he describes as ' black, with a large 

 hyaline spot a little before the apex ; ' they are large and 

 hyaline, etc." I am happy to be in a position to affirm the 

 correctness of my description of the tegmina, and I feel 

 little doubt as to the specimen figured by Fowler not being 

 even a variety of the species, the description of which, I 

 regret, has apparently given him so much dissatisfaction.
