Extract

For the purpose of further testing conclusions stated on p. 174 regarding Homopteras lunata, edusa and Saundersii, I have secured all observed at my sugar since the former writing.

There are 38 “lunata,” 23 “Saundersii” and 18 “edusa.” Having opportunity to examine these while fresh, I observed the anatomy of the sex organs in each specimen as captured. The result verified the view previously advanced–the lunatæ were all females, the Saundersii and edusæ all males.
