Revision of the Mexican ayid Central American Chaulio- 

 gnathinae {Fam. Telephoridae), based on the genital 

 armature of the males : a correction. By George 

 Charles Champion, F.Z.S. 



Too late for correction in the proper place, a mistake has 

 been detected in the name of one of the species of Chaulio- 

 gnathvs figured in the " Revision " {antea, pp. 128-168), 

 due to the printed label-number, 1665, attached to the 

 separately-mounted preparation having been misread 1655. 

 The dissection (1665) of a dark variety of C. limbicollis was 

 thus, by accident, selected for the figure (Plate V, figs. 

 14, 14a) and description (p. 144) of the aedeagus of the 

 male of C. lecontei ; the corresponding structure of the 

 first-named insect was correctly illustrated on Plate VI, 

 figs. 22, 22«. Figures of the aedeagus of C. lecontei are 

 appended herewith, and the following description must 

 replace that given on p. 144. As might be expected, the 

 general structure of the organ in question is very similar 

 to that of the allied C. profundus, except that the left 

 lateral lobe is very much shorter. 



C. lecontei, Ch. ^. Aedeagus : median lobe stout, strongly curved, 

 produced at the apex into a broad, spoon-shaped process ; left 

 lateral lobe moderately long, stout, angulate at about the middle, 

 the basal portion broad, the apical portion narrower, spoon-shaped, 

 abruptly hooked at the tip ; right lateral lobe much shorter than 

 the left, compressed, obliquely bent outwards from about the middle, 

 the tip scm :>what pointed.
