Type in Col. Nurse's collection. 



Col. Nurse has -allowed me to examine the male, described by 

 Cameron, and no doubt can remain respecting the synonymy ; 

 and there is another, purporting to be the type, from the same 

 locality, in the British Museum. Three identical males, in the 

 British Museum, taken by Col. Bingham at Etingarum, differ in 

 nothing but their darker antenna? from specimens I have found 

 in my house in Suffolk.
