  Remarks. 
  — 
  Among 
  the 
  material 
  presented 
  to 
  the 
  U. 
  S. 
  National 
  

   Museum 
  from 
  the 
  Bowditch 
  collection 
  is 
  a 
  single 
  old 
  specimen 
  

   of 
  Strabala 
  sp. 
  with 
  the 
  label 
  "Lactica—Strabala 
  haematina 
  Dej" 
  

   from 
  "Nov. 
  Granad." 
  This 
  may 
  be 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  specimens 
  listed 
  in 
  

   the 
  Dejean 
  Catalogue 
  from 
  Cartagena 
  since 
  it 
  bears 
  the 
  old 
  Dejean 
  

   Catalogue 
  Dame. 
  The 
  aedeagus 
  of 
  this 
  old 
  specimen 
  has 
  a 
  rounded 
  

   tip 
  quite 
  unlike 
  the 
  one 
  from 
  Bogota 
  with 
  its 
  acute 
  tip, 
  and 
  is 
  probably 
  

   not 
  the 
  same 
  species.

  Remarks. 
  — 
  The 
  specimens 
  in 
  this 
  series, 
  although 
  of 
  the 
  coloration 
  of 
  

   the 
  ones 
  from 
  Colombia 
  and 
  Venezuela, 
  are 
  smaller, 
  more 
  oval, 
  and 
  

   distinctly 
  though 
  finely 
  punctate. 
  The 
  tip 
  of 
  the 
  aedeagus 
  is 
  truncate 
  

   and 
  not 
  at 
  all 
  acute 
  as 
  in 
  the 
  single 
  male 
  specimen 
  from 
  Bogota.
