Obs. Species memorabilis defectu alarum in mare 
distinguenda. 
Sir 8. S. Saunders, in his MS. notes on his No. 682, 
states that ‘‘the female of this species [since lost] when 
taken throws out a pungent fetid odour.” It was taken 
‘‘in the house, September 25, 1849, stinging his 
neck.’ The specimen here described is certainly a male 
insect.
