Paratypes are deposited in the following collections: U. S. Na- 
tional Museum, American Museum of Natural History, University 
of Minnesota, University of Nebraska, State Entomologist of Penn- 
sylvania, and the author’s. 
The paratypes vary in length from 7 to 12 mm. This species has 
much the same appearance as macra Cresson and is confused with 
the latter in all collections of Mutillidae. It may be distinguished 
from macra by the following characters: the second abdominal seg- 
ment is entirely ferruginous, while in macra only the second tergite 
is ferruginous; second tergite with the -punctures elongate and dis- 
tinctly separated on the disc, more or less contiguous on the basal 
third, while in macra the punctures are elongate and close on the 
disc, and confluent on the basal third. The genitalia of this species 
is distinctly different from that of macra. The types of Blake’s macra 
and hispida have been examined and found to be quite different from 
this form. The species macra Blake, so far as known, does not occur 
in the eastern part of the United States.
