sculptura. In nostra vero sulci transversi magis disfanles, 

 lamellae multo magis distantes, multo magis distinctae 

 et elevatae; margo ventralis et dorsalis magis convexi; 

 ligamentum prominens, quod in V. pullastra in fundo 

 areae profundatae latet , unde etiam nymphae diversae. 

 Sinus palliaris in nostra minor. Dentes duo in valva 

 dextra bifidi, in sinistra modo medianus distincte bifidus. 



21. Venus rimosa Ph. 



V. (esta ovato - oblonga , pallide fulva, inferius viola- 

 cescente, lineis rufis aut violaceis angulato-flexuosis reti- 

 culata, laevi, lineis tarnen impressis margini venfrali sub- 

 parallelis, utrumque latus non atlingentibus exarala; 

 caeterum V. textili similis. Long. 24'"; alt. 14"S 

 crass. 8'". 



Patria: . . . 



V. textili simillima sed minus solida, margo ventra- 

 lis paullo magis arcuatus, colores vividiores, rete linea- 

 rum obscurarum deiicatius, et sculptura valde insignis. 

 Sinus palliaris paullo major. 



22. Venus semirugata Ph. 



V. testa ovato -oblonga, fulva, strigis violacescenti- 

 bus angulatis in ziczac flexis picta , sulcis transversis un- 

 datis postice abruplis picta; margine ventrali parum arcu- 

 ato, antice adscendente; dorsaii utroque fere rectilineo, 

 posticoque declivi; lunula lanccolata parum dislincta. Long. 

 24'"; alt. lö'A'"; crass. 9V3'".

Summopere affinis V. rotundatae L. (papilionaceae 

 Lamk.) sed diversa: testa breviore, tumidiore, lunula vix 

 distincta, non impressa, sculptura diversa. In V. rotun- 

 data lineae impressae interslitia plana habent, in V. se- 

 mirugata interstitia sulcorum rotundala veluti undae. 

 Sinus palliaris lere duplo brevior quam in V. rotun- 

 data.
