I have been inclined to regard this species as identical with 

 A. C0171US, Cram. But an examination of specimens made for nie 

 by my good friend Dr. S. 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=eomiis 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.
