Remarks. — Faxon (1885a, p. 30) has discussed the locality records 

 cited by Hagen (1870, p. 48), and has indicated that only the speci- 

 mens mentioned by the latter that were collected from Mobile, Ala., 

 belong to Procamhanis lecontei? Following his discussion of Hagen's 

 locality records he stated that "besides the Mobile types, I have found 

 but one other specimen of this species in the Museum, a young female 

 in a jar with G. spicidifer (Cat. No. 172), from Athens, Ga." I have 

 examined this specimen, which is in a poor state of preservation, 

 and am uncertain as to its identity, but even if it should prove to be 

 lecontei there is every reason to doubt the reliability of the label. 

 I have collected on several occasions in the vicinity of Athens, and 

 have received numerous collections made by Dr. Donald C. Scott 

 from that region, and neither of us has found P. lecontei. In fact, 

 only two species belonging to the genus Procanibarus have been found 

 in the Athens region: P. spicidifer (LeConte, 1856, p. 401) and P. 

 pubescens (Faxon, 1884, p. 109). Furthermore, no other specimen of 

 lecontei has been reported east of Mobile County, Ala. Thus P. 

 lecontei is known only from the southwestern part of Alabama and 

 the southeastern part of Mississippi, where it is found in tributaries 

 of the Mobile and Pascagoula Rivers.

Diagnosis. — Rostrum with small lateral spines or tubercles, which 

 set off the acumen from basal portion ; areola moderately narrow with 



* I may add that the specimens from Pensacola, Pla., which Faxon stated were not 

 lecontei but of which he made no specific determination, are Procamiarus evermanni 

 (Faxon, 1890, p. 620) [MCZ No. 249].
