Virginia (Handlirsch). Unknown to me. The flagellum in both 

 sexes is said to be entirely black, the 9 thus being distinguished 

 from both atricornis and canaliculatus. The $ has the flagellum 

 joints about twice as long as broad, in which it agrees with canali- 

 culatus, but differs thereby from atricornis £ . G. canaliculatus 

 ( $ ) has the flagellum beneath and two spots on middle segment 

 yellow, whereas in geminus these parts are said to be black. 



37. Gorytes vioinus Hdl. 



Gorytes vicinus Handlirsch, Ann. k. k. naturh. Hofrnuseums, VIII, p. 279, 9 . 



Washington State (Handlirsch). Unknown to me. It is evi- 

 dently close to atricornis; but the wings are said to be strongly 

 tinged with yellow.

39. Gorytes canaliculatus Pack.
