  A 
  very 
  common 
  and 
  widely 
  distributed 
  species. 
  The 
  

   full 
  synonymy 
  is 
  given 
  by 
  Walker 
  (iii., 
  p. 
  457), 
  and 
  is 
  

   therefore 
  not 
  here 
  repeated. 
  Walker's 
  Mecopoda 
  rufa 
  

   appears 
  to 
  be 
  only 
  a 
  bleached 
  specimen 
  of 
  AI. 
  elongata. 
  

   He 
  quotes 
  (doubtfully, 
  it 
  is 
  true) 
  a 
  figure 
  of 
  Stoll's 
  (Saut. 
  

   et 
  Grill., 
  pi. 
  9, 
  f. 
  37), 
  which 
  does 
  not 
  appear 
  to 
  me 
  to 
  

   belong 
  to 
  the 
  Mecopodklce 
  at 
  all.

  a

  which 
  appears 
  to 
  agree 
  with 
  Stal's

  it
