Mr. Morrison's type is in the Tepper collection; Mr. Grote's is in tlie 

 British Museum. ]\Ir. Butler has made this species the type of a new 

 genus, Eumestlcta; with what Justice, I am not prepared to say. Tlie 

 fact that I do not use the genus here indicates only that it was pub- 

 lished so late that the addition referring to it was made in proof. I 

 did not see the type of Anthophila Jlammicincia at the British Museum ; 

 but the species is so well marked that I have no hesitation in accepting 

 Mr. Butler's determination. He suggests that the species may be 



Deltoid! 



T. carmelita Morr.* 



1875. Morr., Proc. Ac. Nat. Sci. Phil., 1875, 431, Thalpochares. 

 Habitat. — Texas; Mississippi; California. 

 The type is in the Tepper collection.

 1872. Zell., Verb. k. k. zool. bot. Ges., xxii, IGO, pi. 2, f. 4, Thalpochares. 



Habitat. — Texas, May and June. 



The type is in the Museum at Cambridge. It is a curious species, 

 strongly resembling Pleonectyptera in appearance and in maculation.
