two things we have been calling G. pallidus. I have male specimens 

 from the type locality and both sexes from Florida that correspond 

 exactly with your sketches of pallidus. I have many others from 

 Galesburg, 111. (determined long since, when I first began collecting, 

 for me by Kellicott) that agree with your sketches of submedianus. 

 And I have no intermediates." Mr. Hart kindly sent me drawings 

 of the postocellary vertical ridge of the male and of the occipita of 

 the 2 females in the State Laboratory Collection. Evidently the 

 specimens are submedianus. 



Calvert, Occas. Papers Bost. Soc. Nat. Hist. VII, 1905, p. 20, reports 

 pallidus from Waltham, Mass. (Hagen). This record probably refers 

 to true pallidus. 



Dr. Calvert in addition to notes on the Weith specimen from In- 

 diana, mentioned above, sent me notes on the other specimens in the 

 Phila. Acad. Two males from Texas are submedianus or subapicalis 

 (these two species were not distinguished in my correspondence with 

 Dr. Calvert) ; a Florida male is intermediate, so far as my sketches 

 of the postocellary vertical ridge go, between pallidus and sub- 

 medianus, this specimen is doubtless pallidus. A female from Thomas- 

 ville, Georgia, is pallidus. 



Wilson, Drf. Cumberland Valley in Ky. and Tenn., Proc. U. S. 

 Nat. Mus., September, 1912, pp. 192 and 199 states "that the river is 

 entirely patrolled by pallidus." It is impossible to state what species 

 is here referred to. 



I wrote to Mr. Currie for data on pallidus in the U. S. Nat. Mus. 

 A male, labelled Texas, is submedianus or subapicalis; a female from 

 Missouri and a female from Henderson Co., Illinois, are submedianus. 

 These are the only specimens under the label pallidus in the Nat. Mus. 

 Three other references in literature to G. pallidus do not record any- 

 thing of interest in this connection.
