Page 4:?. Litltoliins "fi/rranii-nx," as originally spelled (Proc. U. S. \<it. ^^us., 18S7, 

 2>. >>2i:), is evidently a misprint, and it appears IVoiu Mr. tollman's manuscripts that 

 he intended to name the species " L. tyrannitx." The name ought to be changed 

 accordingly. 



Page (ill. Add the descriptions (reprinted from Enloini>L .liner., II, /s's'?, />. ;.".) of 

 the following two species: 



Family POLYDESMID.E Leach. 

 (ieiius PAKADKSMUS Sanssure. 



Paradesmus evides sp. nov. 



Coloration as in /'. i'i'i/tkro])i/i/ii v. Form moiv slender. Vertex smooth, median 

 sulcus continuous, not much excavated between the antenna-. First segment more 

 rounded. Inner angle of (lie lateral carime not serrated. (iemtalia entirely dif- 

 ferent, short, robust, pilose, scarcely bent, grooved above, at the end, and divided 

 into (wo blunt lobes. 



Length of body, 215"""; width, 4"' m . 



Haltititt. Wiuona, Minn. 



I have examined one whole specimen and a number of broken ones collected by 

 Prof. .1. M. Hol/inger. This species can lie easily separated from erythropygus by 

 the markings of the vertex, the smooth lateral carime and especially by the male 

 genitalia.
