96 BULLETIN 44, UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM. 



HABITAT. Texas, in October; New Mexico. 



Dr. Harvey's type is in the British Museum, and is like the type of 

 xyliniformis in the National Museum. Dr. Harvey's figure is poor and 

 does not suggest this species at all. Mr. Grote's reference of the spe- 

 cies to Ammaconia prevented all chance of my recognizing it. It has 

 nothing at all in common with the other species referred to that genus.
