I have been inclined to regard this species as identical with 
A. comus, Cram. But an examination of specimens made for me 
by my good friend Dr. 8. H. Scudder, at Berlin and at the British 
Museum, he having in his possession at the time the drawing which 
is reproduced in the Plate, casts a great doubt upon the correctness 
of this view. Dr. Scudder says, “* Your margaritata is most cer- 
tainly not the insect labelled helops=comus in the British Museum, 
and is very doubtfully the insect known as comus, in the Museum 
in Berlin.” I had sunk my name as a synonym until receiving 
this opinion from my learned friend, who is recognized as a very 
high authority in all such matters.
