rencontrer celles de l’autre rang par leur base, et elles 
représentent ensemble comme une petite feuille decoupée,”’ 
may apply either to wrtice or Normani, yet it seems to 
suit the latter the best; but his remark respecting the 
lateral lamine, ‘elles sont toutes un peu courbees,”’ is 
the most at variance with O. Normani. There is this, 
however, to be said, that DeGeer’s description and figure 
appear to represent an immature insect, while mine refer 
to a female with a developed marsupium, and the imma- 
ture form, male or female, which I have not become 
acquainted with, may have more of the characters repre- 
sented by DeGeer. 
On a careful consideration of the whole of the facts I 
now think, notwithstanding the apparent discrepancies, 
that DeGeer’s species is not only quite distinct from 
O. urtice, but that it is the same that I have named 
O. Normani, and that, therefore, for the latter O. floccosa, 
DeGeer, must be the name to be adopted.
