Weieep jj/wliis (= e/<(?(;/77«.s) generically separate from mijron aud cerdcolor, 

 (1) because the species is, in the spiuose tibiae, one step farther advanced tbau its 

 American and Oriental allies, and (2) because the separation of ]/hobis on account of 

 snch a consjiicuous character as the sjiinosity of the tibiae will facilitate the con- 

 struction of a workable key to the genera.

The figure of pkulu.-i given by Cramer is very rough ; it does not agree with 

 any specimen of the jjrosent sjiecies which we have seen. But one must not be too 

 exacting ; many of Cramer's figures bear only a superficial resemblance to the 

 insects they are meant to represent, especially in the first volume. We think 

 it was not so much the roughness of the figure which prevented it being 

 ref'errwl to tiie common North American species known iXAchiu'rilna, bid, the locality, 

 which !.•> given as the West Indies. The individual figured came from the collection 

 of B. de Marre. In the same collection was the type of (Jramer's ^ay.'i'a; figured ou
