  I 
  had 
  formerly 
  mistaken 
  this 
  species 
  for 
  G(d. 
  occidentalis 
  Thomas, 
  and 
  

   distributed 
  specimens 
  under 
  that 
  name. 
  This 
  note 
  may 
  serve 
  to 
  correct 
  

   tlie 
  error. 
  The 
  longer 
  furcuhi 
  serves 
  somewhat 
  readily 
  to 
  distingnish 
  

   this 
  species 
  from 
  the 
  preceding, 
  smaller 
  and 
  less 
  heavily 
  maculate 
  

   species.

  PACKARDII 
  SERIES. 
  

  

  This 
  is 
  a 
  group 
  in 
  which 
  the 
  prozona 
  of 
  the 
  male 
  is 
  usually 
  quadrate 
  

   or 
  subquadrate, 
  and 
  the 
  interval 
  between 
  the 
  mesothoracic 
  lobes 
  of 
  the 
  

   same 
  sex 
  varies 
  from 
  (juadrate 
  to 
  fully 
  twice 
  as 
  long 
  as 
  broad. 
  The 
  

   prosternal 
  spine 
  is 
  usually 
  rather 
  short, 
  often 
  appressed. 
  The 
  tegmina 
  

   are 
  always 
  fully 
  developed 
  and 
  reach 
  or 
  surpass 
  a 
  little 
  the 
  tii)s 
  of 
  the 
  

   hind 
  femora; 
  the 
  hind 
  tibiae 
  are 
  generally 
  red, 
  sometimes 
  blue, 
  and 
  

   have 
  nine 
  to 
  twelve 
  spines 
  in 
  the 
  outer 
  series. 
  

  

  The 
  supraanal 
  plate 
  is 
  as 
  in 
  the 
  collinus 
  series. 
  The 
  fnrcula 
  is 
  

   slightly 
  developed, 
  consisting 
  of 
  moderately 
  slender 
  denticu-lations, 
  not 
  

   longer 
  than 
  the 
  last 
  dorsal 
  segment. 
  The 
  cerci 
  are 
  generally 
  moder- 
  

   ately 
  broad, 
  gently 
  spatulate, 
  the 
  apical 
  portion 
  generally 
  inbent, 
  

   sometimes 
  merely 
  incurved, 
  often 
  externally 
  sulcate. 
  The 
  subgenital 
  

   Ijlate 
  is 
  never 
  very 
  broad, 
  ordinarily 
  rather 
  narrow, 
  subequal 
  or 
  apically 
  

   narrowed, 
  the 
  apical 
  margin 
  neither 
  elevated 
  nor 
  prolonged, 
  and 
  gen- 
  

   erally 
  well 
  rounded 
  and 
  entire. 
  

  

  The 
  five 
  species 
  are 
  of 
  rather 
  large 
  or 
  medium 
  size, 
  and 
  comprise 
  

   two 
  tolerably 
  distinct 
  sets: 
  one, 
  of 
  two 
  species, 
  of 
  ordinary 
  form, 
  with 
  

   short, 
  apically 
  truncate 
  cerci, 
  not 
  nearly 
  attaining 
  the 
  tip 
  of 
  the 
  supra- 
  

   anal 
  plate, 
  and 
  with 
  strongly 
  divergent 
  forks 
  to 
  the 
  furcuhi; 
  and 
  a 
  

   second, 
  of 
  three 
  species, 
  of 
  very 
  robust 
  form, 
  cerci 
  which 
  though 
  short
