serrations on the upper side of the first joints of the posterior tarsi; 

 there are only hairs shown and described. This figure clearly defines 

 what he considered one of the chief characters of the genus, which 

 character is adopted by Dr. Scudder as above cited. 



Through the courtesy of Mr. Samuel Henshaw I have examined 

 the type of Cycloptilum squamosum in the Museum of Comparative 

 Zoology, Cambridge, Mass., and find that the hind tarsus is serrated 

 as in the New Jersey specimens. As they also agree with the type 

 in other particulars, we may conclude that Cycloptilum squamosum 

 occurs in the pine barrens of New Jersey. 



There are authentic specimens of Ncmohius palustris Blatchley 

 in the Scudder collection, and by comparison with them we find we 

 have that species from the lowland of Lakehurst and also from Lake 

 Hopatcong, N. J. This insect has also been reported from Con- 

 necticut and Massachusetts by Prof. Morse. 



Lastly, I wish to thank Dr. Frank E. Lutz, of the American 

 Museum of Natural History, for much aid in the literature from the 

 library of that institution.
