It has been suggested that t his species is the same as t he European 

 tvjm Linmeus, but as there seem to be differences in the hypopygi- 

 dium, therefore it seems best to keep them separate until a complete 

 revision <>f the genus is possible. There is also a probability that 

 there is more than one species under the name omega.

Two females, St. John, New Brunswick, June 11. 

 These dill'er from Norton's description in having the spot on the
