It is necessary to observe that the figure of this species is taken from the typical specimens in the British 
Museum described by Mr. Walker, who has omitted to allude to the luteous villose clothing of the thorax,—a 
character occurring in no other species of the great family to which it belongs. Fig. 44 represents the side 
view of the insect with the limbs cut off.
