HABITAT. Northern, Eastern, and Middle States; Illinois. 



The type is in the British Museum, and is the species I have been 

 naming limpida in collections, including that of the National Museum. 

 The type tflimpltln. also in the British Museum, is very dark, almost 

 black ; but with exactly the. same marking as in marginidens. 1 have no 

 doubt the two will prove varieties, as this kind of variation is not un- 

 common in Gorfymt. At all events nil my limpida labels should be 

 changed to read ma/rginidenSj as I have changed them in the National 

 Museum
