tween these two, is the forking of the fourth vein in the St. 
Augustine specimen. Therefore according to our present class- 
ification, this would throw these two into entirely separate 
groups, although I am rather doubtful that this character is 
of so much importance as that. The question then arose, is 
this Florida specimen a true lateralis? Dr. Calvert’s sketch of 
the wing and Mr. Banks’ notes, and sketch of the ovipositor, 
for the type is a female, at once settled this query and re- 
vealed the fact that we have an entirely different species, in 
lateralis Walker than we had surmised. The fourth vein is 
normal, not forked, the ovipositor is long, and tapering from 
an elongate base, and the post-femora are thickened and 
spinose. This at once suggests my femoratus; in fact, I do not 
hesitate to consider them synonymous. 
Therefore my determinations as houghi Kertz., should be 
changed to fallipes Johns, and those as femoratus Cress. 
changed to houghi Kertz.

Before me is another female of this species from Ithaca, 
N. Y., August 14, 1904 (C. W. Johnson), which varies a little 
from the description of this species given in my previous paper 
referred to (4). The upper half of the front is polished: sec- 
ond antennal joint black; abdomen rather obscurely shining, 
finely granular, with segments 2-4 distinctly yellow laterally; 
joints of the post tarsi not noticeably flattened or serrated.

Mr. J. R. Malloch, of the Bureau of Entomology at Wash- 
ington (5), thinks that this species may be the same as P. 
atramontensis Banks (6) on account of the coloration of the 
femora. From the notes and sketch made by Mr. Banks, of 
Walker’s type, the abdomen is broad, with the hypopygium 
large, which characters would seem to indicate albofasciatus 
Hough, rather than Bank’s species; the latter having a moder-
