The present authors or the senior author alone have already recorded this 

 species from Atlantic City, New Jersey and Punta Gorda, Fort Myers, South 

 Bay of Lake Okeechobee, Chokoloskee and Homestead, Florida, and as longi- 

 penne from Hannibal, Missouri.

As we liave a]ready stated in tlie preliminary remarks on the 

 genus, Serville's herhaceum, which has generally been associated 

 with Scudder's concinnum, seems to resemble this species more 

 closely in the length and form of the ovipositor than any other 

 of which we know the female, except the long ovipositor type of 

 concinnum. The latter condition, however, as far as known, occurs 

 only in a region which at that time was almost unexplored and 

 there is little possibility of it having been in Serville's possession, 

 particularly as he says the specimen came from Latreille, who 

 died in 1833. The character of the facial marking described by 

 Serville is not normally found in any form known to us, that is 

 no form has an "almost transverse" black spot on the face. A 

 similar condition is found below the eyes in specimens of a num- 

 ber of species which have discolored in drying. However, we 

 have no definite proof that herhaceum is the same as fidicinium, 

 and, until we have some positive information of this sort, we do 

 not care to replace a well understood name by another of doubt- 

 ful status. We have endeavored to locate Serville's type and 

 have the same examined, but unfortunately without success. 



The synonymy of crusculum is evident on comparison of typi- 

 cal material of the same, kindly loaned to us by Mr. Davis, with 

 the typical series of fidicinium. 



As in other species of the genus there is a general increase in 

 size southward, but in the Cumberland Island series we find a
