Mr. John Cowley wrote on 23 Oct., 1936, " In the original description Foerster stated ' Beschrieben nach 2 S . . . Die eine der Typen befindet sich in Museum zu Wiesbaden, die andere wurde in zuvorkommender Weise meiner Sammlung iiberlassen '. Mrs. Gloyd was unable to find the cotype in the Foerster Collection at Ann Arbor ; an inquiry addressed to Herr Custos Chr. Fetzer, Mus. Wiesbaden, determined that the second cotype was in that Museum and a loan of the type was made to Dr. Erich Schmidt. Dr. Schmidt supplied me with the following notes." These notes dated 23 June and 28 Aug., 1935, are incorporated in the following description.
