to occur is p. sublugubris, Wood, which is very scarce. 



A large number of those late species liibernate and appear 

 the next spring. The hibernation ([uarters are generally thick 

 furze branches, clumps of grass or ferns, under bark, ikc, or in old 

 nests. I have seen numbers of P. rufipes under the packing on 

 bee-hives during winter. Though the list of local species is now 

 fairly large, I have a good many that I do not include in it, as 

 they have not been worked out yet ; but I know, from what I can 

 ascertain from my material at hand, that we must have almost as 

 many more species as there are included in this list.
