*It is possible that this may prove to be the Collyrio excur bitoroides of Baird, as accord- 
ing to that author, Z. Ludovicianus is found only in the South Atlantic and Gulf States; 
while C. excurbitoroides has been gradually advancing from the west, and might be expected 
to occur here about this time. Without comparing specimens, it is difficult to distinguish 
between the two.
