 Hoplogrijon hrachypterus, Ashmead, Monog. N. A. Proc, p. 204. 



Several type 9 9 in Coll. Ashmead, from Ottawa. This is our com- 

 monest species ; numerous 9 9 have been obtained from moss in the early 

 winter, and also by the sweeping-net in August and September, Hull and 

 Ottawa. Two $ $ were taken at Hull in July and August. 



The antcnnte of the S are very long and slender, with long hairs ; 

 scape pale ; the pedicel is rounded and slightly swollen ; first flagellar 

 joint one half longer than scape, remaining joints each subequal with 

 scape, very slender and attenuated at extremity. The wings are long 

 and slightly ciliated.

Type 9 in my collection, from Ottawa; also two 9 9 sifted from 

 moss. 



In referring this insect to Bœus (loc. cit.'), I used onlj' a hand lens 

 in examining it, but having remounted it and examined it microscopically, 

 it proves to belong to the genus Gryon. Except in colour the species 

 seems almost identical with the preceding one, and may be only a pale 

 form of it.

Type 9 9 in Coll. Ashmead, from Ottawa. The 9 occurs abundantlj' 

 with the next species, Hull and Ottawa. One S on 1st August, Ottawa. 



The S antenna are hardly longer than the body, the joints relatively 

 shorter and stouter than in G. canadensis. Abdomen more polished, legs 

 paler, size larger.
