DIAPERINI NORTH OF MEXICO — ^TRIPLEHORN 369 



name, referring it back to his 1798 paper where he had called it 

 hydactina. Each name is accompanied by an identical description 

 and designation of locality. Both of these names were preceded by 

 the well-documented and figured Olivier name which thus has priority. 

 Typical specunens of D. maculata from Iowa compared well with 

 the type of D. suturalis Chevrolat (A. Villiers, in litt.). 



This species is very abundant throughout its range, where it com- 

 pletes its entire life cycle in a number of species of fleshy fungi, 

 notably those of the genus Polyporus. In the faU, in the northern 

 states at least, large numbers congregate under bark to hibernate. 

 It is also frequently attracted to lights.

 cius: not seen; type locality, "Habitat in Carolinae Hydna candido."
