I have not seen the type, nor do I know where it is. The species is 

 (piite common in some parts of California and is well known. F. pec- 

 tiiiafa, the type of which is in the Ilritish Mnsenm, is a P<(chn<)hUi^ which 

 I had redescribed as femiguioide.s. A specimen labeled "type" by 

 Mr. Morrison is in the National Musenm.

The type is in tlie British Mnsenm. Mr. Grote suggests that it is a 

 Enropean example, and he may be correct; at all events it is exactly 

 like ordinary specimens of o.{Yf//«a. But, on the other hand, Mr. von 

 Meske, who sent Dr. Harvey the specimen, was a very carefnl collector, 

 and labeled the insect Sharon Spi-ings, a favorite collecting ground. 



Tlie Mesogona culea of M. Gucnee is a Tcuniocampa, and will be found 

 under that genas.
