Nebraska. 



Type. — No. 11327, U. S. National Museum. 



The type of this species was sent to Prof. C. H. Fernald 

 several years ago from Mr. Theo. Pergande for name; on a 

 visit to Amherst in October, 1902, Professor Fernald gave me 

 the specimen and asked me to describe it and to utilize his 

 manuscript name, which I am pleased to do. 



The specimen has remained a unique in the National Mu- 

 seum, but the species is very distinct from any described Ameri- 

 can species and may as well be published.
