HABITAT. Canada; Eastern, Northern, and Middle States; May

Mr. Grote's reference of this species to vindemialis Gil., is incorrect. 

 The type of Gueuee's species is in the British Museum, and is said to 

 be from Florida, while I have never seen Mr. Morrison's species from 

 south of Pennsylvania. 1 have referred vindemialis to Tn'niocamjxt, 

 where notes on it should be sought. I do not know where Mr. Morri- 

 son's type can be found.
