A female. I cannot quite convince myself of the specific 

 distinctness of Actceodes modestus and Aetata pulchella. The 

 genus at least cannot be sustained, based as it is practically 

 on the one character of the greater or less emargi nation of the 

 finger-tips. But it is, again, more particularly on this cha- 

 racter that Dr. de JMan has formed his species — " Es scheint 

 mir nun, dass sich die pulchella von unserer Art gleichfalls 

 durch die Scheerenfinger unterscheidet." These differences 

 are: — in A. pulchella the fingers meet along their length, are 

 only slightly emarginate, and the dactyl slants obliquely ; in 

 A. modestus the fingers gape a little, the tips are strongly
