This interesting form has had a varied nomenclatural career, 

 as the above more important references show. Caudell did not 

 distinguish it from true pachymerus and testaceus, calling all 

 pachymerus and ascribing the evident differences to individual 

 variation. Blatchley distinguished it from "pachymerus" (i. e. 

 testaceus), but erred in calling it "dorsalis" (i. e. americanus). 

 We have examined practically all the material seen by Caudell 

 and therefore can speak definitely regarding the reference. In 

 regard to Blatchley's determination our study of the available 

 material is sufficient to show the proper interpretation. 



As this distinct and easily recognized type requires a name, 

 we take great pleasure in dedicating it to our friend, Mr. 

 WiUiam T, Davis of New Brighton, Staten Island, New York, 

 to whose assistance in the way of loans of specimens and sug- 

 gestions from his large store of field experience we owe so much. 



Type. — cf ; Orange, Orange County, Virginia. July 21, 1913.
