breadth, in fact more so than in any other form except 0. con- 

 cinnum, but an exact expression of this variation is hardly possi- 

 ble, as, while tangible and apparent to the eye after study of the 

 genus, it is relatively so slight that a satisfactory and convincing 

 measurement of it is hard to secure. 



The type of the species, a female, is now before us and meas- 

 urements of it have never been published. We here give these 

 and the proportions of several representative males as well as 

 the large Thomasville individual of the same sex.

Synonymy. — ^In the prefatory remarks (p. 18) we have already 

 commented upon our queried determination of this species as 

 0. cuticulare. The specimen so named had lost all of its original 

 coloration, was of larger size than the average of the species and 

 had the cerci rather longer than usual. The true cuticulare of 

 Serville, as we have shown elsewhere in this paper, equals the 

 earlier glaherrimum and the form called cuticulare by Redten- 

 bacher is the very different calcaratum. 



Distribution.- — ^The Coastal Plain of the eastern United States 

 from central New Jersey (Helmetta and I.akehurst), south to 

 southern Georgia (Thomasville), west as far as the mountain 

 valleys of North Carolina (Sulphur Springs) at an elevation of 

 2500 feet and the vicinity of Washington. To the localities 

 from which the species has been recorded we may add Florence, 

 South Carolina, where its note was heard coming from about 

 twelve feet up in a short-leaf pine.
