The above species were originally described from Wisconsin, 

 U.S.A., being placed doubtfully in the genus Eristicus. It is 

 quite evident now from Mr. Koebele's collecting them in New 

 Zealand that they do not belong to our fauna and that some 

 collector palmed them off on the U.S.N.M. as from Wisconsin.
