ni\ t'!i by tJ. W. Mi'LLKH, 1J)(U) a, p. 102, as this investigator lias re-examined the original material 

 of this species. 



It seems to me fairly probable that C. striata C. Cl.AUS is identical with this species; 

 this identification is, however, not quite certain, as the descri])tion is too incomplete for certainty 

 of identification: the original material is obviously lost. G. W. MOllhu adds in 1912 ,,part." 

 to this name; this is, ho\V(>ver, obviously due to a mistake; C. Cl^VLS had only a single specimen 



of this species at his disposal, as is shown by a statement 

 of his, 18!t(i. |i. l.'i: ,,Nur in riiii'iu nuiniilii-lirii Ivxriii- 

 plar . . . gefunden"; see also (\. W. MOllbk, liH)(j a, 

 p. 102 with regard to this identification. 



('. subarcuata, V. 'N'AMtA. ]i)n(i. p. 33, seems, as 

 G. A\'. Mt'LLEli pointed out, 1908, p. 74, not to be 

 identical with C. Claus's species of the same name. 

 The description is. however, ton inconi])lete for a certain 

 decision of this question; see, for instance, the shape of 

 the capitulum of the rod-shaped organ in the male, pi. 1, 

 fig. 9; in any case the difficulty of distinguishing the 

 species in this group is too great to justify us in accepting 

 straight off all the 44 stations included by V. VAvija. 

 C. subarcuata is also mentioned by P. T. Clev'E, 

 1905, p. 130. As this writer gives no verificatory in- 

 formation at all it seemed to me best not to include 

 this name in the above list of synonyms. 



C. striata, G. S. BliAJJY, 1902 a, p. 190, is not a 

 ii'ie; this was established by me by a re-examination of 

 this writer's original material. I was unfortunately unable to establish with full certainty the 

 species to which this material (a mature male) belonged.
