I am unable to agree with Heer Snellen, as quoted by Baron 

 von Hedemann {I. c. No. 3), that the West-Indian species allied 

 to microdactylus, Hb., is actually our common European insect. 

 Baron von Hedemann has sent me the specimen determined for him 

 by Snellen, and I must certainly regard it as distinct. A very 

 noticeable spot occurs on the lower margin of the anterior lobe of 

 the fore wings a little beyond the opposite costal spot, and this is 

 not present in microdacti/lus ; moreover, the anterior wiugs appear 

 to me to be distinctly narrower in proportion to their length. In 

 any case there can be little doubt that it is the bipunctatas of 

 Mdschler.

I can only regard the type of aspilodactylus as a worn specimen 

 of agraphodactylus, and Walker himself suggested that it might be 

 only a \'ariety or a faded example of this species.
