Blake (1871) first suggested that palliceps was probably the 
female sex of senex Guerin. Later Andre (1898) united the two 
as sexes of the same species, although the evidence was not 
absolutely conclusive. In the material collected by Dr. Salt there 
is a male specimen and a female specimen pinned on the same pin, 
which apparently indicates that they were taken in copula. Since 
these are the only two members of the genus Timulla described 
from Cuba the evidence seems to justify the uniting of palliceps 
Cresson with senex Guerin as the two sexes of senex.
