74 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM vol. 90 



Besides the typer series in the National collection from Decatur, 111. 

 (June 1-15), there are two specimens from Rockford, 111, (collector 

 "O, H. S.") among the undetermined material, which, although some- 

 what larger and darker than the types, undoubtedly belong here. This 

 species has an unmistakable roughened appearance due to the presence 

 of many long, slender, almost hairlike, upturned scales on practically 

 the entire insect.
