Specimens examined. — I have seen 34 specimens in the United States 

 National Museum, 35 from the Museum of Comparative Zoology, and 

 73 collected by me during 1935-37. 



Remarks. — I believe this species to be properly identified although 

 specimens labeled fulvipes in the British IMuseum really belong to 

 correctu^ or one of the other species. A specimen from Sr. Bierig 

 shows that his identification of this species is the same as mine. 



My specimens were taken from along the sandy banks of streams, 

 on the muddy banks of ponds, from cow dung, and flying at dusk.
