 Mr. Bangs, in a foot note on page 66, Proc. N. Eng. Zool. Club, 



1899, states that Mr. Gerrit S. Miller, Jr., of the U. S. Nat. Museum, 

 has examined the type of Mr. Thomas' species and is of the opinion 

 that it is the same as iV. descrtorum, Merr. This being so, the 

 name given by Dr. Merriam will become a synonym of N. c. lepida.
