Orchelimum minor, Bruner. 



Orchelimiun minor, Bruner, Can. Ent., XXIII., 72, Apr., 1891. 



Apparently a rare species, known only from the District of Columbia. 

 It is unknown to me and has not been recognized since it was named. 



Orchelimum vulgare, Harr.

Xiphidium agile. Red., Mon. der Con., 186, fig. 80, 1891. 



It is very probable that many of the references to this insect are 

 mistaken. It seems to range over the northern United States from the 

 Pacific to the Atlantic, and northward for an unknown distance into British 

 America. It is found as far south as Arkansas and Maryland. 



Orchelimum gracile, Harr.

Not Xiphidium fasciatum, Scudd., Mat. for a Mon., 1862, 451.

 to X fasciatum. Massachusetts, Harris ; New Jersey, Bruner.

Reported from Vigo and Fulton Counties, " In upland prairie

 Xiphidium strictum, Scudd."

 Xiphidium glaberriminn, Burm., Hand., II., 3, 707, 1839. 



"The title page of the author's reprint bears the date 1892, but it is evident that 

 this paper was not printed until 1893 or later, as some of the synonymy given bears the 

 date 1893. (See page 135.)
