 1897. Mermiria bivittata Ball, Proc. Iowa Acad. Sci., iv, p. 238. [Iowa.] 

 Isely (Trans. Kansas Acad. Sci., xix, p. 241, (1905)) has recorded bivittata 

 from Sedgwick County, Kansas, east of Fairmount and Brown County, Kansas. 

 If these do not refer to true bivittata, the first two represent intermediates be- 

 tween M. TO. maculipennis and M. to. macdungi, the last one probably M. m. 

 macdungi.
