the fifty-five North American forms, descriptions of forty-two 

 new species and varieties, and a complete bibliography to the 

 genus and to the 133 described species and varieties at present 

 known from the whole world, including four fossil species. The 

 writer's personal collection contains sixty-seven of the named 

 species and varieties, of which forty-six species are represented 

 by type material. In addition he has studied Coquillett's types 

 at the National Museum and Loew's types at the Museum of
