The true E. hijida, Si\y,= E. alfn'rfnnis, Il.-Scliiitf., is, 

 so far as I am aware, conHued to the United States of 

 America or to the Nearctic Region. It ditfer.s from E. cornuta, 

 judging from typical specimens forwarded from that region, 

 by tlie broader apex of the scutellutn. Mr. Uliler {.'Hipra) 

 states tliat E. bijida, Say, and E. cornuta, Burm., are syno- 

 Dymic; but this seems to be erroneous, and as he returned 

 specimens of A\ cor/iM<fi to tl)e British Museum under both 

 names, he probably did not have true specimens ot Say's 

 species before him when he wrote. The two species arc 

 certainly closely allied.

1 am doubtful as to the generic position of this sj)ecies. It 

 seems to belong to Ilyparete or .some allied genus ; l)Ut as I 

 have not been aide to examine a representative of Stal's 

 genus and Walker's type is the only specimen of his species,
