A female. I cannot quite convince my.self of the specific 

 distinctness of Actccodes modestus and Actma pulchella. The 

 genus at least cannot be sustained, based as it is practically 

 on the one character of the greater or less einargination of the 

 fingei-tips. But it is, again, more particularly on this cha- 

 racter that Dr. dc Man has formed his species — " Es scheint 

 mir nun, dass sich die pulchella von unsercr Art gleichfalls 

 durch die Schecrenfinger unterscheidet." These differences 

 are: — in A. /mlche/ld the fingers meet along their length, arc 

 only slightly cmarginate, and the dactyl slants ohliqueli/ ; in 

 A. modestus the fingers gape a little, the tips are stron/iy
