probably from the southern part of the State, J. D. H., 1 

 male; "Corbiri, Ky., Sept. 26, 1911, in mushroom, A. C. 

 Morgan, collector," 1 female (coll. A. C. Morgan). 



Type locality ; Homer, Illinois. 



The name is proposed as a compliment to Mr. Morgan, who 

 had recognized the form as generically and specifically dis- 

 tinct and had drawn up a description, previous to learning 

 that my manuscript on the same species was ready for the 

 press.

 brown, slightly paler at base; ptero- and pro-thorax bright cinnamon-

 at base, and (by reflected light) with vertex and inner and posterior margins 

 of eyes almost white; antenna grayish brown, segment 2 darkest, bases of 

 3, 4, and 5 pale; fore wings washed with blackish, slightly paler in basal 

 fourth; legs yellowish gray, all femora darker and shaded on outer surface

 posterior pair nearly opposite middle of eyes. Antennae moderately stout, 

 three times as long as dorsum of head, all spines long, stout, prominent;
