 and Frederick Knab; one Mayaguez, Porto Rico, R. 

 H. Van Zwalenburg; one Gainesville, Fla., reared by 

 R. N. Wilson from maggots that issued from a speci- 

 men of grasshopper, Schistocerca americana, after it 

 had been killed, pinned and placed in the box (Web- 

 ster No. 13945) ; three from Monticello, Fla., reared 

 by John D. Gill from Citheronia rcgalis (Quaintance

 (Gainesville Nos. 16466, 16515, 16588, 16623). 



All of the preceding material from the Bureau 

 of Entomology and the National Museum. I also 

 have two specimens from Havana and Cayamas, 

 Cuba, collected by C. F. Baker; three specimens from 

 Jamaica in the Hough collection and two from the 

 same in C. W. Johnson's; and 19 specimens from 

 Brazil (Chapada, Corumba and Obrilongo) collected 

 by H. H. Smith and given me by Prof. Williston; in 

 most of the Brazilian material the pollen of the head 

 is more or less yellow to golden, in the rest quite sil- 

 very. 



I examined the type specimen in the University 

 of Kansas and was permitted to spread its genitalia.
