Gundlacli makes it rliexia $ , virescots 9 , while Eiley unites the two 

 on the study of long series of material. I have no doubt they are 

 correct, though Guenee points out what seem to him good characters 

 and gives the Fabrician species a South American habitat only.

HABITAT. North America.

 tibia with one inner and one outer spine or claw. A curious form, ap-
