NORTH AMERICAN MUTILLIDAE 



The male of this species is probably lepeletierii. Southern 

 specimens often have the legs red, or partially so, and such have 

 been designated by Mr. S. A. Rohwer variety halahetei. I have 

 examined the types of vierecki, georgiana and plesia.

1912. Pycnomutilla harmoniiformis Rohwer, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., 41: 455, 



This is probably the male of ferrugata and is definitely united 

 with it by Mr. Melander, who does not state his reasons.

It is an interesting fact that neither ferrugata nor lepeletierii 

 are represented in the extensive collection of Mutillidac made by 

 Mr. Nathan Banks at East Falls Church, Virginia, although each 

 are represented by a single specimen caught in neighboring 

 localities.
