This is the second species of this rare genus that has yet been 

 discovered ; I obtained numerous specimens in the vicinity of 

 New Harmony, Indiana, and one near ,*^pringfield, Ohio, and the 

 specimen I'rom Mr. l>arabino proves that it inhabits a considerable 

 portion of the [ 163 ] I'nion. The species is widely diflferent from 

 the cdjn'tafd, which 1 have not found in this region. 



[The following description of the foregoing species was found 

 among Mr. Say's papers, and, as it contains some particulars not 

 noticed above, we have thought proper to insert it in this place. —
