Kennicott's description of annulata, which was road before the 

 Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia in August, 1860, un- 

 doubtedly ^ras published before the api)earance of Jar^'s cor.jui-cta 

 in December, 1861. The type locality is thus fixed satisfactorily, 

 as it would not have been had the name conjuncta appeared first. 

 The latter is recorded from Brazil and Caracas. It seems impossi- 

 ble that these localities can be correct, as the figure is exactly like 



» The location of the type specimen has only recently been learned. Kennicott gave it as number 4293 

 of the United States National Museum collection. This number at present belongs to a specimen from 

 the same locality and collector as the type, but which was transferred at some unknown time to this number 

 from the number 1857. Comparison with the original description proves that this is not the type. The 

 latter has, however, been found in the collection of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Phila<lelphia, 

 number 3613. It answers to Kennicott's description and bears the original parchment label ol the Smith- 

 sonian Institution with the number 4293 and the measurements and scalation in the same handwriting as 

 the original entry in the record book ol this Jfuseum. When it went to Philadelphia is not known.
