ranges north of Florida, hence Mr. Coquillett thinks damnosus 
and sollicitans are the same. 
A damaged specimen, of what is evidently this species, has 
been received from Formosa from Mr. Ford. It resembles the 
species from North America, as far as I can judge from its 
damaged condition, but the banding: on the tarsi is not noticeable 
with a hand-lens, but under the two-third power traces of it are 
seen, the basal scales reflecting white in certain lights; the 
banding of the proboscis is also not so distinct except under the 
microscope, when the middle scales appear to form quite a white 
band. This specimen was taken in January at sea-level, but on 
such slender evidence I feel disinclined to place it as this species, 
although it bears a strong superficial resemblance.

* Mr. Coquillett has ju>t written me that he finds C. taeniorhynchus 
occurs much further north tnan Florida, and adds, ‘'You are evidently correct 
in assigning* damnoms as a synonym of taeniorhynchus.
