270 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM. VOL.XX. 



Jamaica Plain, Suffolk County, Massachusetts, August 13, 16 (S. Hen- 

 shaw; S. H. Scudder); Cape Cod, Massachusetts; Provincetown, Barn- 

 stable County, Massachusetts, September 5 (A. P. Morse"; Museum Com- 

 parative Zoology) ; West Chop, Marthas Vineyard, Massachusetts, July 

 4-30, August 2-6 (A. P. Morse); Thompson, Windham County, Connec- 

 ticut, August 4 (same). A specimen (female) in the Rational Museum, 

 from Alaska perhaps belongs here. 



The species has also been reported from Montana (Thomas), north- 

 west Nebraska (Bruner), Souris River, Assiniboia (Scudder), Lake of 

 the Woods, Manitoba (Caulfield), Minnesota (Scudder), mountains east 

 of Middle Park, Colorado (Thomas), and New Jersey (Beutenmiiller). 

 It therefore occurs in a broad belt along our northern border from the 

 Atlantic nearly or quite to the Pacific. 



As seen in the above description, the species occurs in two forms, a 

 moderately short-winged form, to which the name Jl/./. curtits (Plate 

 XV III, figs. 2-3) maybe given (it was once described as citrtits); and 

 a very long and broad winged form, which may be called JL/. volaticus 

 (Plates I, fig. c; XVIII, fig. 4). The latter is known only from Michi- 

 gan, and was brought to my attention by Professor Bruner. 



Duriug a recent visit to London, Mr. Samuel Henshaw, to whom I 

 had given specimens of this species for the purpose, verified by com- 

 parison with the types in the British Museum their identity with 

 Walker's Caloptenus fasciatus.
