But being unable to comprehend the meaning of the disagreement between your delineation in the same genus and mine, I was induced a short time since to examine critically a copy of that which I sent you, when I became convinced that the wing must be represented vpsidc doirn. A careful denudation of another wing rendered this painfully apparent, while, at the same time, the renewed examination, much to my suqn-isc, re- vealed I had likewise omitted the branch of the subcostal nervure, which closes the discoidal cell. The representation I now enclose I am sure is correct, and an exami- ation of it Avill show you there is no essential diffe- rence in the neuration of Litliocollctis Robin iella and ('Un,i]\o\\^\ found in opposite hemispheres. I shall be much ol)liged to you if you Avill also make a correction in the text of my former letter, and substitute "pTcdominanf in j)lacc of " dominator'''' characters; Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - colora
