TAXON'OMIC NOTES. Larval C. duttoni is quite characteristic and
easily identified (see key under 6). Larvae of C. watti, however, though
remaining undescribed, are said to be indistinguishable from those of
C. duttoni (24). Distinction between adults of both forms, on the other
hand, seems to have been based by Edwards (8) on differences not of
the specific level.
