bears. It is evidently a member of the nigrinus group of Dr. 

 Dietz (Trans. Amer. Ent. Soc. Vol. xviii, page 220) but is not 

 closely related to any of the species there given. Remarkably 

 distinct /// coloration from any species known to me. 



As a large portion of my material in Macrops and Anthono- 

 mini has recently passed through the hands of Dr. Dietz, our 

 acknowledged authority in these groups, I am enabled to add 

 somewhat to the recorded geographical distribution of certain 

 species as given by him in his two monographs cited above. 

 While in some instances I can only add to the recorded locality, a 

 neighboring State, yet certain other species show a distribution 

 hardly to be expected. The localities given by Dr. Dietz are in 

 (juotations.
