with round, deep punctures, coarsest on the first segment, which is scat- 
teringly clothed with long, gray hair which forms a fringe down the sides; 
segment 2 depressed at base as well as. apex; fasciae narrow and grayer; 
basal joint of hind tarsi four times as long as wide, middle joints twice 
as long as wide. 
Genttalia.—Stipes notched, its apex long, falciform, its upper margin 
recurved, making its inner surface concave, the inner surface of the apex 
of second and base of apical section with several conspicuous, long vi- 
brissae; sagittal rods parallel throughout, gradually expanded basally; 
volsella moderate, less than one-half of sagitta; seventh ventral plate un- | 
usually large, its lobes long, columnar, apically expanded into suboval 
sheets, basally with a small, laterally projecting external costa, wholly 
moderately pilose. (Plate 3, figures 17 and 17a.) 
Type Locatity.—New York; types in collection of American 
Entomological Society. 
This is the species wrongly determined by Mr. Cresson as 
inaequalis Say, and renamed by Patton who recognized the true 
maequalis, Cresson had material from New York, New Jersey, 
' Pennsylvania, Illinois, and Colorado, and I have selected the 
first mentioned locality as typical, though all the other localities 
come within the range of the typical form except the last. Mr. 
Robertson suggests (i litteris) that Cresson probably based his 
description on the Colorado specimens which represent another 
species (fulgidus), to which his name should be applied, leaving 
the eastern form distinct under the name spimosus Rob. But 
there is nothing in the description to warrant this inference, and 
the precedence of enumeration and numerical majority of the 
eastern specimens seems to leave no doubt as to where the name 
armatus should properly be applied. 
Patton described as a new species a “form having inconspicu- 
ous prothoracic spines and fuscous hairs on the vertex and 
thorax above, naming it C. scitula, but Robertson, after .exam- 
ining a cotype of scitula, expressed the opinion that scitula was 
the male of armatus, in which opinion he is undoubtedly correct. 
Whether the male referred to armatus by Patton really belongs 
there I have had no opportunity of definitely discovering. Rob- 
ertson, not knowing of Patton’s paper, redescribed armatus as 
C. spinosa, Dalla Torre is in error in citing Kansas as the type 
locality of armatus, since the application of the name to Cresson’s
