For several years a number of species of tlie old genus Gorytes have 

 remained unnamed in my eolleetion, even after considerable study of 

 the literature. This summer T had the good fortune to be able to compare 

 these species with the material in the collection of the Academy of 

 Natural Sciences of Philadelphia. I found n-otliiiig Mke any of them 

 there. Some of the forms described here may come within the specific 

 lin;its of certain species described by Handlirsch, though it is impos- 

 sible to determine that at presout. Tbe references to the moderu 

 Ashmeadian genera are given in each ca.se.
