 as Macroxyela. The type is no. 186 in Harris collection. It is in good 

 condition and according to Harris' manuscript list was collected April

Cephus heteropterus Harris, Cat. Ins. Mass. 584, nomen nudum. 

 1835-

 lacks the head and has part of the thorax eaten away is in Harris col- 

 lection under no. 314, and according to Harris' manuscript list came 

 from Dublin, New Hampshire. This species is undoubtedly synon- 

 ymous with J amis abbreviatus (Say). The differences mentioned by 

 Norton are not specific as they exist in a reared series now in the Na- 

 tional Museum. The venation of the paratype is abnormal.

 the male of integer.
