This is not a cominon species. It seems to belong to the 

 Transition region, extending sKghtly into the Carolinian. It is 

 one of the few Mutillidae occurring around Ithaca, New York, 

 and is absent from the veiy extensive collections made by Mr. 

 Banks at Falls Church and elsewhere in Virginia. The same 

 distribution holds for cariniceps, which also occurs at Ithaca 

 and is apparently absent from Falls Church. This parallelism 

 in distribution applying to these two species, and to no others 

 closely related, leads me to suspect that they are the opposite 

 sexes of one species. 



Fox's record "Texas" is based on a misidentification. The 

 specimen on which the record was based is in the collection of the 

 American Entomological Society, and has its mandibles deeply 

 notched externally. It does not belong to his group occidentalis. 

 A single specimen from "Mexico" in the same collection appears 

 to be a true gibbosa, and therefore Texas may eventually be in- 

 cluded in the range of the species. A specimen referred to by 

 Melander from "Pennsylvania" in the Museum of Comparative 

 Zoology is certainly not this species, as my notes show that the 

 clypeus is flat, not distincth^ punctured, medially polished, its 

 apex neither thickened nor emarginate. Until I can again see 

 the specimen, I cannot state what it is.

As indicated above, this is probably the female of gibbosa. I 

 have examined the type of scrobinaia Rohwer, and find that it 

 belongs to this species. 



Dasymutilla (Dasymutilla) anguliceps (Fox), 9 . 



This spcH'ies is still known only from the unique type from 

 Illinois.
