I had previously considered this species as C angustattis LeConte ; but 

 the type in the Philadelphia Museum is surely different (viz. C. spicu- 

 lifer). This species is separated from the similar ones by the short 

 mesothorax, the longer abdomen, and the long, small, and nearly cylin- 

 drical hands. 



I consider .1. Blandingii LeConte, 1. c. T. 7, p. 400, as probably identi- 

 cal with C. Lecontei. The words "linea ordinaria non sulcata" do not 

 agree very well; the transverse line is as sulfated as in C. troglodytes. 

 The lamina of the postabdomen is bispinose in Mr. LeConte's species, 

 trispinose in C. Lecontei. Still it seems probable that the two species 

 are as likely to be identical with each other as with C. Blandingii 

 Harlan.
