4. GLOSSIPHONIA LINEATA. 

 Clepsine papillata Verrill rar. lineata. 



In many respects this species resembles G. triserialis E. Blanchard, 

 but differs from this and resembles G. hridgei O. F. Miiller in the 

 position of the genital pores, which are separated by but one annulus. 

 The external male orifice is situated at ^,, (f|), the female at XI ah, 

 (fl), the latter being the usual position. The white patches which 

 flank the black papillte appear to be more conspicuously developed in 

 the Mexican specimens, making this a very beautiful species.

 Prof. A, Duges, February 8, 1882. Nineteen adult and numerous young 

 specimens.
