This pecies is nearly allied to X. n-ixtittux Harris, differing 

 iVoin that species principally in the pronotum not being S( 

 strongly compressed above, the sinuation not so deep in front 

 of the eyes, the frontal cost a more advanced in front of the 

 eves, the vertex more ol>t nsel\ eonico annulate. In .\.rrtiNtutnx 

 the frontal costal is more deeply excavate and the median 

 carina of the vertex more elevated. gi \ ing the crown of the 

 head in profile a more arched appearance. Although de- 

 scribed from one specimen, these differences are such as to 

 warrant me without hesitancy in giving this species a place 

 here. 



Another point which I would like to bring forward in the 

 present connection is in regard to Tcflir i/nnni/ntux Kirby. 

 This species is undoubtedly t he same as described by Prof. 

 Polivar in his "Essay, 'S7, page iMKi. ligs. i'l'-'Jlia, as Trfti.i 

 ln-iiiiin-ri, making the latter name synonymous, but on the 

 other hand this is not the species commonly understood as 

 Tettijc granulatus, found in the northeastern Tinted States and 

 southward, which has a slender form with long subulate pro 

 notum. On the contrary, the true f/niiiiildhix has the body 

 compact, rather large, the wings only extending as far as the 

 apical process, as more full\ described below. The result of 

 these researches leaves no other way open but to name the 

 species further southward or in the temperate region, and to 

 make my contention more clear I have described the two spe 

 cies in t|Uestion.
