Mr. Casey presumes it to be different from Ct. dispar. His 

 description, except the color, tallies exactly with Sharp's descrip- 

 tion and the figure in the " Biologia Centrali- Americana," and 

 with my Mexican specimens, which have come to me from the 

 hands of A. Raffray. Bolter's specimen is a female, and my 

 male specimen differ slightly in the length of the eighth antennal 

 joint, which Casey pounces upon to honor friend Raffray with a 

 doubtful n. sp. from a unique. 



Another presumption of Casey is that Bryaxis perforata Aub§^ 

 will be restored, and presumes again B. perforata Brend. should 

 be named B. terebrata Casey. Casey, I think, has not seen a 

 specimen of B. perforata Brend., but describes from the same 

 locality the old perforata again as B. iniricata Casey. There are 

 several other presumptions upon which Casey founded n. g. and 

 n. sp. to which I have at present no time to refer. 



I give on Plate V figures of the above described species and 

 of some South American forms, which may interest somebody.
