  sup- 
  

   posed 
  comparative 
  rarity

  female 
  insects, 
  instancing;

  males 
  

   of 
  the 
  pale 
  variety 
  of 
  Colias

  Scteva

  The

  Mesovelia, 
  referred 
  to 
  the

  to 
  me 
  to 
  be 
  

   Geocorisous, 
  and 
  to 
  be 
  closely 
  allied 
  to 
  Authocoris.
