Ilahitat. — Universally distributed throug-hout the temperate 

 regions of ]!^orth America ; moderately abundant. 



Description. — Head and face hairy ; nose blunt, rounded, 

 slightly emarginated ; nostrils opening semi-laterally. The sides 

 of the face slightly inflated and set with small stiff hairs. A 

 similar row of lOnger hair surrounds the eyes. The upper lip, 

 especially at the sides of the face, is more massive than the
