The Baron Osten-Sacken (in Loew’s Mon. Dipt. North 
Amer., part i., April, 1862), observes, with reference 0 
Gynoplistia annulata, that as “ it is hardly probable that 
an Australian genus should also be represented on the 
continent of North America, it is to be presumed either 
that the genus is different or that the statement is based 
upon an error of locality.” He further adds (in litt., 18th 
March, 1881), that ‘‘the white rings on the tibie of 
Gynoplistia annulata are a character which belongs to all 
the Ctenophore of South-Kastern Asia with which 1 am 
acquainted.” 
The label attached to the type specimen in the Oxford 
Museum is in the handwriting of Mr. Hope, and is 
clearly written N. A. 
Gynoplistra punctipennis.
