Its application will be readily under- 

 stood by examining successively Nos. 

 33,34, II, 3. and 24. 



Additional forms of the numbered 

 species can be readily inserted by con- 

 tinuing the notation, and other species 

 can be added by prefixing a letter to 

 the number of the preceding species. 



LIST. 



The principal synonym.'; are enclosed in 

 parentheses. References to the more useful 

 descriptions are indicated by abbreviations 

 arranged alphabetically (see literature in

Mr. Scudder informs me that from 

 an examination of Burmeister's type 

 St. /iro/>ii/^iiii IIS Scudi.]. is a sy-nonym. 

 From an examination of the types of 

 St. propinquans and a small number of 

 other N. E. specimens I suspect that 

 they must be considered as long- 

 winged individuals of St. aequalis 

 Scudd. As this would involve a consid- 

 erable shifting of names it seems best 

 to gi\e each a place until additional evi- 

 dence accumulates. The type of Bur- 

 meister came from Penn'a. I have 

 seen specimens from the west, re- 

 ferred to this name by good authori- 

 ties, which belonged to a distinct 

 species, not found, so far as I am 

 aware, in New England.
