 Obs. — Inconspectus Herbst. recorded from southwestern Iowa, Bull. Lab. 

 Nat. Hist. Univ. Iowa iii, 234, is probably an error, as specimens sent to 

 me by Mr. Wickham as this species, were examples of R. pericarpius. 

 The European example, with which the comparison was made, was 

 probably the inconspectus of authors, which is a synonym of pericarpius, 

 and not with the true inconspectus of Herbst, which seems to be the 

 species subsequently described by Fabricius as gramiiieus, and so known 

 till recently.

delphia, Pa. Central Europe.
