form as Argy?inis Alberta, which he has just described from one ^ and 

 two % sent him by Mr. Bean. 



It would be useless for me to reply in detail to his remarks upon par- 

 ticular species, because he will always fall hack upon his so-called types, 

 whilst others must rely on his published work, if they can get it, and if 

 not, upon the best materials they can get. No doubt there are many errors 

 in my arrangement which only time and better knowledge can clear up. 

 I shall welcome the criticism of any one who will show me where I am 

 wrong, and who has better means of coming at the truth than I have, but 

 I am quite content to live under Mr, Edwards's aspersions in such good 

 company as that of Dr. Hagen, and hope that Mr. Edwards will think 

 better of us both when he gets cooler. 



A NEW PSEUDOSCORPION. 



BY NATHAN BANKS, ITHACA, N. Y. 



Upon looking over the specimens of this family, which I had collected 

 during the past few years near Ithaca, I discovered a new species of 

 Chernes, which may be characterized as follows : — 



Cher7ies pallidus, nov. spec. Length about 2 m.m.; body ovate ob- 

 long ; cephalothorax a little broader behind than in front ; finely serrulate 

 on the margin ; body finely granulate and furnished with short, yellowish, 

 clavate hairs. Abdomen pale yellowish ; cephalothorax reddish near 

 anterior end ; palpi a uniform red ; legs yellowish ; no light median line 

 on dorsum. No eyes ; palpi stout, longer than the body ; 3rd joint near- 

 ly as long as cephalothorax, and three times as long as 2nd ; 4th a little 

 shorter than 3rd ; hand large and stout, fingers a little curved. Larger 

 than C. Sanbornl H. and C. oblongus Say, the palpi larger and longer, 

 and the legs much stouter than in these species. In C. Sanboi-ni H. the 

 3rd joint of palpi is but twice as long as the 2nd. C. oblongus is smooth, 

 not granulate ; one specimen, Ithaca. 



The following species are also found near Ithaca : Chernes Sanborni 

 H., several specimens ; Chernes oblongus Say, more common ; Chelifer 

 cancroides L., in houses ; Chelifer muricatus Say, one specimen ; Obisiuju 

 bruneuni H., several specimens ; Chthonms pemisylvatiicus H., three 

 specimens.
