Habitat.— Texas; ^'East Florida," March, April. 



The types of all the naines are in the British Museum. The locality 

 "East Florida," is rather dubious, for I have not kuowu of any save 

 Texan species heretofore.

Habitat. — Maine to Texas, to California; June to October. 



The types of vicina and acutipennis are in the British Museum ; that 

 of teligera is in the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Cambridge. 

 The type of acutipennis is somewhat more than usually powdery; but 

 else I find no difference from vicina. The specimen is badly set, giving 

 the wings a peculiarly pointed appearance, which apparently sug- 

 gested Mr. Grote's name.

 August, September, October, November. 



M. ferrealis Grt.

Habitat. — Montana. 



I have no idea where the type of this species could be found, and liaye 

 Bot recognized it as yet.
