  This 
  species 
  takes 
  in 
  our 
  Southern 
  Atlantic 
  States 
  the 
  place 
  of 
  M. 
  

   fermir-ruhrnm, 
  which 
  it 
  closely 
  resembles; 
  it 
  is 
  most 
  quickly 
  distin- 
  

   guished 
  from 
  it 
  by 
  the 
  form 
  and 
  sculpture 
  of 
  the 
  supraanal 
  plate 
  and 
  

   the 
  much 
  greater 
  length 
  of 
  the 
  furcula.
