Comments. — In his last descriptive sentence concerning Mecidea 

 lepineyi (Vidal not Lindberg) Vidal states that the comparative 

 lengths of the second and third antennal segments are sufficient to 

 identify this species. Unfortunately, this is not true since the males 

 of M. kristenseni Jensen-Haarup have almost the same comparative 

 lengths for the second and third antennal segments. This fact sug- 

 gests that vidali may prove to be only a very pale form of kristenseni.
