Note.—Unfortunately Gravenhorst gives but little more than a 
colour description of Hemiteles argentatus, described from a specimen 
taken by Mr. Hope, probably in the neighbourhood of Netley, It 
was sent to Gravenhorst after he had written the second volume of 
his Monograph. The type specimen is now lost; if it had been in 
Gravenhorst’s collection, Taschenberg would have noticed it. 
Professor Westwood has been kind enough to hunt through Hope's 
collection, and finds it is not there,’ adding that probably it was 
never returned by Gravenhorst.
