replied ihat he was likewise of the opinion that it was a Podnma 

 railier than a Bradytiotes. 



Since the above was written I have seen the specimens of 

 B. UispiJa in the Museum of Comparative Zoology, and believe 

 tliem to be congeneric, but not conspecific with P. nuda.

There is some uncertainty of the correctness of the label 

 upon the s|)ccimen which I recorded from Vernon, and I doubt 

 if this boreal species occurs there. 



All gradations are represented in this series, from typical 

 Bruneri to the Aiaskanus type, in which the apical margin of the 

 subgenital jjlate is notched in the male. The same variations 

 appear in a series from northern Ontario, although the A/askanus 

 type is ap|)arently < ommoner in the west. It seems to h.ive r-o 

 racial or varietal significance. 



S|)ecimens of the A/askanus form were received from Lang- 

 ham, Vermilion and Banff. Typical Bruneri were also taken at 

 these localities. The specimens from Lloydminster are all about 

 intermediate.
