  the 
  whole 
  preparation 
  had 
  to 
  be 
  remounted, 
  and 
  in 
  doing 
  this 
  the 
  small 
  spines 
  broke 
  

   away, 
  though 
  the 
  points 
  of 
  attachment 
  are 
  still 
  very 
  clearly 
  denned 
  on 
  both 
  the 
  

   claspers. 
  The 
  wing 
  venation 
  (fig. 
  5, 
  a) 
  is, 
  if 
  constant 
  in 
  a 
  series, 
  strikingly 
  different 
  

   from 
  that 
  of 
  P. 
  pemiciosus 
  (fig. 
  5, 
  b), 
  and 
  may 
  in 
  itself 
  serve 
  to 
  distinguish 
  it 
  from 
  

   the 
  latter. 
  As 
  to 
  the 
  antennae 
  (fig. 
  4, 
  a, 
  b) 
  there 
  is 
  a 
  marked 
  difference 
  in 
  the 
  relative 
  

   length 
  of 
  the 
  3rd 
  segment 
  in 
  the 
  two 
  species, 
  but 
  when 
  compared 
  with 
  the 
  length 
  of 
  

   the 
  segments 
  of 
  the 
  palpi 
  or 
  with 
  that 
  of 
  the 
  proboscis 
  both 
  species 
  give 
  the 
  same 
  

   relative 
  index.

  In 
  the 
  male 
  genital 
  armature 
  the 
  arrangement 
  of 
  the 
  spines 
  on 
  the 
  superior 
  claspers 
  

   (fig. 
  6, 
  6, 
  c, 
  d) 
  is 
  often 
  very 
  difficult 
  of 
  interpretation 
  ; 
  more 
  especially 
  is 
  this 
  the 
  case 
  

   when 
  the 
  segments 
  to 
  which 
  they 
  are 
  attached 
  are 
  superimposed,
