Correction to my article on Apiocera, 



in the Berl. Ent. Zeit. 1883, p. 287—294 



by G. li. Osten Sacken. 



Since the puhlication of my article I have for the first time 

 seen the Chilian Apiocera brevicornis in the Berlin Museum and 

 have ascertained that in Dr. Philipp i's figure (Verh. Z. B. Ges. 

 1865, Tab. 25. f. 26) the venation is not correctly represented. 

 Since then, at my request, Dr. Kar seh kindly examined the specimens 

 again, and confirmed what I had seen. The second of the veins, 

 issuing from the discal cell, ends beyond the apex of the wing, and 

 not before it, as represented on the figure; in other words, there 

 is very little difference in the venation of all the known 

 Apiocerae. The two species, which I have described from Mexico 

 and California, differ from the others in having the anterior brauch 

 of the third vein end in the margin a little beyond the end of the 

 first vein, and not in that end; but as the distance is very small, 

 this difference has but little importance. 



The discovery of this error in Dr. Philippi's figure renders 

 necessary the following changes in my above-quoted article in the 

 Berl, Ent. Zeit. 1883. Strike out the following passages: 



1) On p. 291, the whole paragraph beginning on line 18 from 

 top, with the words: „Among the species etc." and ending online 33 

 with „the species of Apiocera." 



2) On p. 293 at the bottom the paragraph beginning with: „It 

 remains for me etc." up to its end on p. 294 „drop Anypenus for 

 the present." 



3) On the same p. 294 the whole line six from bottom and the 

 word „venation" on the following line. 



On the same p. 294, line 4 from bottom, insert the word „slightly," 

 before „different" and strike out the word „again" on the following 

 line. 



So much for trusting figures, in the absence of specimens!
