The above measurements of Sch. Jiirsutiim and Sch. minutum were 

 taken by me from the types preserved in the Paris Museum ; those 

 of Sch. megahtis from a large female specimen obtained by Mr. 

 Salvin from Guatemala, which I had compared with the type (an ex- 

 ample of a not full-grown male) ; and those of Sch. hehnii from Dr. 

 Peters's original description of that species. 



* The specimen from Cosnipata was found by me in the Collection while 

 these pages were passing through the press.
