46 DR. a. S. BEADT ON THE 



The males of S.plumosum seem, like those of S. tisboides, to be scarce. I have seen 

 only one specimen, some parts of which are here figured. Of S. tisboides I have 

 hitherto seen only one imperfect male specimen ; and as Dr. Claus has only very 

 partially described or figured it, one may suppose that his experience is similar.
