*) In Novit. Zoolog. XV (1908) p. 187 Bethune-Bakeb adds the following lines to liis original description of 
this species: „I have received a male of this species since my paper (1. c.) was written, which is exactly like the $, with 
the exception that the dark area of the secondaries is slightly larger.“ In the original description, however, it is stated 
that just the J is described, whereas the $ is not mentioned there!! If ,,J“ of the original diagnose would be a misprint, B.-B. 
would have had to express that in this addition, but he has evidently not become aware of the contradiction of his two 
statements on this species.
