HIPPISCUS. 153 



Hab. North America, San Antonio, Texas, to Montana and eastward to the New 

 England States 1 ~ 7 . 



H. rugosus is said by Scudder to be a southern insect. It very likely occurs also in 

 Mexico, but we have no specimens or records from there.]

This species is closely related to the preceding. The specimens examined show 

 considerable variation in size and mottling.

Hab. North America, various localities in Texas 1 2 3 . 



This large insect seems to be southern in its distribution. The specimens before 

 me are from the vicinity of San Antonio. It most certainly occurs within Mexican 

 territory also.
