A NEW SPECIES OF ATLANTICUS FROM THE MOUNTAINS 

 OF GEORGIA AND NORTH CAROLINA. 



By William T. Davis, New Brighton, Staten Island, N. Y. 



In looking over my collection of Atlanticns I observed that it 

 contained two females with their ovipositors slightly curved up- 

 ward, evidently belonging to an undescribed species. They came 

 from Lake Toxaway, North Carolina, and were kindly presented 

 to me by their captor, Mrs. Annie Trumbull Slosson. In the col- 

 lection of the American Museum of Natural History and in that 

 of the Brooklyn Museum there are specimens belonging to the 

 same species, and Messrs. Rehn and Hebard of the Academy of 

 Natural Sciences of Philadelphia kindly placed additional ma- 

 terial in my hands for examination.

 than behind, somewhat pinched before the middle, and with the 

 lateral carinse well defined. Ovipositor stout, swollen at the base
