 liles til Icniahi in superficial apjxarance. I chit a, Wlk.. is unknown 

 to the author. He has seen only a single specimen resembling 

 ciiphJd from the \\'csl Coast. I nfortunately it was a female, so 

 f'.ere was no chance to eheck the genitalia with that of cupula. 

 Temporarily it seems best to leave this speeies in the synonomy of 

 cupula; as yn-r the writings of Eutler. Grote, Smith, and Hampson: 

 hearing \u mind the ]iossibility of there being a valid species of the 

 Ancliocelioides Crroup in Vancouver.
