the American Entomological Society by a single female from an 

 unknown locality. The hirsute appearance of the specimen is 

 similar to that of species inhabiting Texas and Mexico, but 

 quite unlike any known from the Eastern United States. As 

 rufa was described from Philadelphia, it seems much better to 

 identify it with a form known to occur here. A specimen of the 

 present species from Ocean County, New Jersey, in the collection 

 of the American Entomological Society, agrees verj' well with 

 Brulle's description. From a study of his other descriptions it is 

 apparent that in speaking of the head, thorax and abdomen as 

 "villosum" he means to imply not tomentose, but such a con- 

 cUtion as actually exists in rufa as here identified. It is possibly 

 this character that lead to the previous identification of the 

 species.
