I fab. Las Cruces, N. M., September 22, at rest, hanging by 

 jaws on / 'frbcsit/a fiitrlioiitc*. The color-variation here de- 

 scribed nearly agrees with the normal coloration of the closely 

 allied T. bardus, as given by Mr. Brues. The insect may be 

 known from bantu* by the conspicuous light hair about base of 

 antennae, the red anterior margin of clypeus, and the straight 

 or barely curved sctitellar spines. Perhaps incsil/ir is not more 

 than a geographical name of bantu.-;: UK- latter occurs from 

 eastern Texas to Illinois.
