Woglum. Hot Springs (W), Mrs. Slosson. Lake Toxaway 

 (W), Mrs. Slosson. Highlands (S-W), early in June and 

 July, Sherman. Not yet taken by Mr. Manee at Southern 

 Pines. 



10. Panorpa rufa Say. 



I have been informed by Mr. Banks that the type specimen 

 of this fine species is in a museum in England. It was taken 

 in Georgia and, as the species had never again been recorded, 

 was suspected of being a synonym or variation of some of the 

 other better-known species. On December 25, 1902 (Xmas- 

 day), which was a warm, bright winter day, I took a specimen 

 at Wilmington, in the southeastern part of our State, near the 

 coast, where the more typically southern forms of life are to 

 be expected. Several years later Mr. A. H. Manee took it at 

 Southern Pines (S-E-C) and, learning that it was a rarity, he 

 has since noticed more closely and finds it common in its sea- 

 son, which runs from the middle of October to the middle of 

 November. Mr. Manee has sold a number of specimens to 

 public institutions and private collectors ; so that the status of 

 the species is now fully established. 



n. Panorpa ruficens Rambur. 



Our records indicate that this species occurs throughout the 

 State, though not yet taken at Southern Pines by Mr. Manee, 

 nor at Raleigh. The fact that we have it recorded in the 

 months of April, May, June, and September, but not in July 

 or August, indicates that it may be two-brooded. Wallace 

 (S-E), mid and late April, Sherman. Havelock (E), early, 

 mid, and late May, Brimley and Sherman. Wilkesboro (N-W), 

 middle of September, Sherman. Hendersonville (W), June, 

 Sherman. 



12. Panorpa signifer Banks. 



This species has been taken only in one western locality 

 in our State, in midsummer. It is doubtless more or less dis- 

 tributed through our mountain region at least. Blowing 

 Rock (N-W), August, Woglum and Sherman (two different 

 years).
