Extract

That four species of Papaipema, Papaipema stenoscelis Dyar, P. speciosima G. & R., P. inquaesita G. & R. and P. pterisii Bird, persist in making a food choice among the Cryptogams, those plants whose ancestry dates so far back in the floral phylum, might suggest that this quartet should show evidence of being the fore-runners of their generic complex.
