Casey recognizes 11 s]iecies of this genns, seven of Avhich he de- 

 scrihes as new. Two well-kno\\n species occur in the State and riifi- 

 pes, one of Casey's new ones, was descrihed from Indiana. I have 

 not seen specimens of it, but give his distinctions between it and 

 the others as, follows :
