Megapenthes limbalis Hbst., is the male, and granulosus the 

 female of the same species. Mr. M. Linell informs me that they 

 have several times been taken in copulation by himself and others. 

 Certainly, all the specimens I have seen confirm this, as the one 

 is always male the other female. 



Corymbites injiatus Say, is the male, find crassiis the female of 

 the same species. To Mr. Frederick Blanchard this information 

 is due, and he has made the same observation here as has been 

 made in the preceding species.
