 (Foj'}. The types were taken by Fox in a bog among clumps of 

 fern, Woodwardia virginica (L.) near Winslow Junction, N. Jer. 

 The species is known only from a few localities in New Jersey and 

 at Tappahannock, Ya., where it was found on the three-square 

 rush, 8cirpi{8 americanus Pers. in tidal marshes. Two of the Vir- 

 ginia specimens had the outer lobes of the hind knees bispinose 

 instead of uuispinose as in the types, thus showing that this char- 

 acter has little if any differential value.
