atripes or Gr. bicolor, in the alcoholic collection of the Mnseum 

 of Comp. Zoo!, at Cambridge, I can find but slight differences. 

 The Kansas species is somewhat more elongated in all its parts, 

 and the spines of the anterior femora are slightly curved back- 

 wards ; the dark band on the prothorax is much reduced in size, 

 and the caudal appendages are more testaceous ; they have thirty- 

 three articulations. The specimen is much denuded of its bris- 

 tles, but those that remain correspond in position with those of 

 Gr.janus. In general, the characters given by Chapuisand Can- 

 deze for Gr. Jjecontei agree with those of Gr. janus, but many'of 

 the details given above for Gr.janus are not mentioned in the 

 description of Q. Lecontei. Salle's figure of the latter, re- 

 produced in Packard's " Guide", is certainly unreliable, and 

 strangely exaggerated in the attenuation of its parts. The 

 larva figured in the "Guide", Appendix, p. 713, fig. 667, can- 

 not be a Galerita, H, Gr. Hubbard.
