Vigo and Craw ford coiiiities; rare. April L'-AFay 11. Accord- 

 ing to Horn's key. this runs to vesciis INfars.. but comparisons witli 

 exami)los of that spoeies at Cambridge show vcsrus to be a smaller 

 and nnich iiioi-c sliining species, ^vitb thorax more uniformly and 

 pygidium much more s{)arsely }innctate.

 along suture beyond the middle; oblique humeral continuous witli internal
