very diminished numbers ; in another direction a species has been 

 described by M. Thomson from New Caledonia, Glcnea gr'isea 

 and Gleneafulvomaculala were once found together, so as to lead 

 Mr. Wallace to infer that they were male and female ; we have,

 fastidious, and I suspect G. grisea is one of them.
