PEDILOPHORUS RAUCUS Blackb. 



Two specimens from the old collection, without locality lal)els, appear to 

 Ijelong to this s])ecies, but they ha\e the clothing of a uniform rusty-red, much 

 Iirighter than on some cotypes and other specimens in the Museum. As, however, 

 they had been caked with gum for many years before they were cleaned for
