  The

  already 
  been 
  worked

   Besides 
  the 
  characteristic 
  difference 
  in 
  the 
  genital 
  organs, 
  as 
  pointed 
  

   out 
  by 
  Hofmann 
  (Die 
  Deatsch. 
  Pteroph., 
  p.

  he 
  gives 
  the 
  following 
  

   grouping 
  of 
  the 
  three 
  species 
  at 
  present 
  referred 
  hereto 
  (op. 
  cit., 
  p. 
  102): 
  

  

  Palpi 
  slender, 
  second 
  joint 
  ascending, 
  third 
  rather 
  drooping 
  (therefore, 
  as 
  a 
  

   whole, 
  waved) 
  ; 
  second 
  joint 
  with 
  appressed 
  scales, 
  at 
  the 
  apex 
  with 
  few, 
  or 
  usually 
  

   no, 
  projecting 
  scales 
  ; 
  third 
  joint 
  very 
  slender, 
  shorter 
  than 
  the 
  second.

  the 
  Rev. 
  C. 
  R. 
  Digby, 
  who 
  assisted 
  me 
  with 
  it, 
  entered 
  the 
  following 
  

   record 
  : 
  ' 
  Pterophorus 
  laetus, 
  Z., 
  Studland 
  ; 
  one 
  specimen 
  taken 
  in 
  a 
  wet 
  meadow 
  

   was 
  pronounced 
  by 
  Mr. 
  H. 
  T. 
  Stainton 
  to 
  be 
  a 
  pale 
  individual 
  of 
  this 
  species. 
  The 
  

   specimen 
  is 
  now 
  in 
  the 
  cabinet 
  of 
  Mr. 
  J. 
  B. 
  Hodgkinson, 
  of 
  Preston.' 
  The 
  indi- 
  

   vidual 
  in 
  question 
  was 
  taken, 
  about 
  1882, 
  by 
  the 
  Rev. 
  C. 
  R. 
  Digby, 
  who 
  shortly 
  

   afterwards 
  gave 
  it 
  to 
  Mr. 
  J. 
  B. 
  Hodgkinson. 
  At 
  the 
  time 
  of 
  the 
  sale'of 
  the 
  ' 
  Hodg- 
  

   kinson 
  collection,' 
  I 
  failed 
  to 
  find, 
  cither 
  in 
  the 
  cabinet 
  or 
  among 
  the 
  duplicates, 
  

   any 
  specimen 
  that 
  seemed 
  likely 
  to 
  be 
  the 
  Purbeck 
  one, 
  nor 
  was 
  any 
  labelled 
  :\s 
  

   such 
  (labels 
  were 
  conspicuous 
  by 
  their 
  absence 
  !). 
  Mr. 
  Digby 
  failed 
  to 
  find 
  it 
  

   among 
  the 
  series 
  of 
  duplicate 
  laetus 
  that 
  I 
  secured 
  and 
  submitted 
  to 
  him. 
  No 
  

   other 
  example 
  of 
  distans, 
  or 
  var. 
  laetus, 
  has 
  been 
  taken 
  in 
  Dorset, 
  but 
  in 
  view 
  of 
  the 
  

   improbability 
  of 
  Stainton 
  mistaking 
  any 
  other 
  species 
  for 
  var. 
  laetus, 
  and 
  of 
  the 
  

   fact 
  that 
  distans 
  has 
  been 
  recorded 
  (Meyriok's 
  Handbook, 
  eto.) 
  as 
  occurring 
  from 
  

  

  • 
  Kent, 
  to 
  Devon 
  ' 
  there 
  seems 
  no 
  reason 
  to 
  question 
  Stainton's 
  

  

  identification. 
  The 
  ' 
  wet 
  meadow' 
  is 
  but 
  a 
  short 
  distance 
  from 
  a 
  stretch 
  of 
  coast 
  

   sandhills 
  such 
  as 
  distans 
  might 
  inhabit, 
  though 
  hitherto 
  i: 
  has 
  been 
  sought 
  there 
  

   in 
  vain
