Sept.-Dec, 1920.] Barber AND Ellis: The Family CuPEDID/E. 207 



Four species must still be retained in Cupes although certain 

 characters, most noticeably the antennae, eyes, and tuberculate head, 

 are widely different, but until one finds fresh preserved material for 

 exhaustive study LeConte's conception of the family as indicated 

 heretofore must stand. 



The writers wish at this time to thank Mr. Nathan Banks for his 

 kindness in allowing examination and study of the material in the 

 Museum of Comparative Zoology, especially the LeConte collection, 

 which is particularly rich in the Cupedidse. They desire also to thank 

 Mr. C. W. Johnson for permission to examine the specimens in the 

 collection of the Boston Society of Natural History. To Mr. C. W. 

 Leng and to Col. Casey thanks are also due for notes and sug- 

 gestions. 



Drawings from Priacma serrafa and C^^pes lobiceps are from 

 type ; Cupcs capifatus and Cupes concolor from typical specimens.
