Coincidence in time resulted in Scudder's synonym iniicolor,^''^ 

 while his synonymous lithophila is attributable to the ill-advised 

 description of immature material. Failure to associate the sexes 

 resulted in the description of the female as intricata, since which 

 time that sex of the present species has been without exception 

 recorded under that name, or, due to further incorrect association, 

 as the female of /. johnsoni. 



Males of this species have been generally confused with those 

 of P. fiilvescens and P. virginica (as the synonymous /. boreal is). 

 Compared with Julvescens close similarity is found in size, general 



^^^ Taken by the describer. 



i"The records of subsequent authors of Ischnoptera unicolor, with two excepiions, 

 apply properly either to males of virginica, or to material of that species and males of the 

 present insect, in which case the presence of two distinct species was overlooked. The 

 exceptions are of Floridian material, recorded by Scudder and Blatchley, representing 

 males of P. Julvescens. 



158 We here select as single type of Ischnoptera intricata Blatchley: figured 9 ; Crawford 

 County, Indiana, VII, 2, 1902, (W. S. Blatchley), [Blatchley Cln.]. The male described 

 as this species, with some doubt, by Blatchley, is also before us. It is a specimen of 

 Ischnoptera deropeltiformis Brunner, which, killed when recenth' matured, had not at- 

 tained its full coloration. 



1^" Scudder has given twice the correct length measurements in his description.
