Schiodte (Naturh. Tidsskr. 3rd ser. iii. pp. 70-82) has submitted Key- 
serling’s statements with regard to the genus 8talita to a severe criticism and 
pointed out several inaccuracies in them. Keyserling stated (Verh. zool.-bot. 
Ges. in Wien, 1862, p. 640) that Schiodte had omitted to describe the female 
of 8talita, and that his figure of part of the mouth of the femMe differed con- 
siderably from that of the male. He added that he had obtained females of 
8talita showing in the same parts a much closer resemblance to Schiodte’s 
figure of the male, and therefore thought that Schiodte ’s females belonged to 
a species distinct fr-om 8talUa tcenaria. Schiodte now indicates that his 
figures represent the right maxilla of the female, with the labrum, seeri from 
above, and the left maxilla of the male, with the labium, seen from below. 
This explains Keyserling’s mistake. Schiodte also places in parallel columns 
the characters of the true female of his species and those of the females as 
described by Keyserling, showing great differences, which, although some of
