 National Museum (including "cotypes" of hiemalis and fl(wib(ms), 

 2 in the American Museum of Natural Historj^, and 14 collected by

Rev7/irks. — This widespread species is somewhat variable in small 

 details but seems to be distinguishable by the characters used in the 

 key. I am not able to separate the two Cuban species described by 

 Sr. Bierig. 



My specimens were taken from under stones and trash, along 

 streams and ponds, and flying at dusk.
