HENRY J. FRANKLIN. 265 



I have not examined the genitalia of the male of this spe- 

 cies, but I am able to tell, from Radoszkowski's figures and 

 Schmiedeknecht's description, that in general they resemble 

 those of the other species which I have placed in the Terres- 

 tris group. Judging from Radoszkowski's figures they are 

 scarcely separable from those of occidentalis and terricola.
