HABITAT. Texas; Florida. 



Both the above species are South American and are scarcely dis- 

 tinct. I have received them for identification on several occasions and 

 have seen them in collections both from Texas and Florida. 1 have no 

 references to the South American literature, and in our own the species . 

 have not been heretofore referred to.

HABITAT. New Jersey; Pennsylvania; Alabama; Illinois. 



Specimens from the G-rote collection, apparently not types, are in 

 the British Museum. The species is larger than, but fully congeneric 

 with, the preceding. 



A. canescens Behr. 



1885. Behr, Bull. Cal. Ac. Sci., in, 61, Alethmia. 



HABITAT. California. 



It is almost certain that under this name Dr. Behr redescribes 

 Calymnia orina Gn., and its variety calami Harv. I have not seen 

 California!! specimens, however, and therefore cite the species as 

 described.
