that his female of E. karschii was a different species. The color char- 

 acters which he gives for the female do not fit the female of vesicu- 

 laris, and this, coupled with the fact that males of vesicularis are be- 

 lieved not to exist, makes it impossible to accept karschii as a syn- 

 onym of vesicularis. 



Lindeman's description of the color of the legs in karschii, like- 

 wise, does not agree in the case of either sex with atropurpureus, and 

 it is therefore believed not to be a synonym of that species. The 

 identity of karschii will probably remain in doubt until some one has 

 opportunity to study Lindeman's original specimens, which are prob- 

 ably in the Rural Economy Institute at Moscow, Russia. It may 

 not be a true eupelmine.
