304 I'llOCEKDINGS OF TIIIC NATIONAL MUSKUM. 



several years later,' this author located TAmnohia irrorata of Wiede- 

 mann, wliich has the small crossvein as in the Japanese specimens, in 

 a j4Toup whicih ho distinj^uished from the. one containing: lAmnobia 

 />?t/«o/atobytlie shape of tliediscal coll and tlie position of the ])Osterior 

 basal crossvein; and, as in this case he ovoi looked the great difleronce 

 in the position of tho small crossvein, it is altogether probable that the 

 same thing occurred when describing JAmnohia suhstituto. Tho gonus 

 Conosia was heretofore rei)orted as extending from Ceylon to Java, 

 Borneo and China, and westward to the Arabian desert.
