The Crasjoedosomatidae of North America. 45 



very careful examination of the male genitalia. Hence the deter- 

 mination of the female and young specimens is in the present 

 state of our knowledge impossible, and these and the other re- 

 ports of the species have value only in showing the distribution 

 of the genus. Sometimes two species were found in the same 

 bottle. Nos. 18 and 28, Bloomington, Indiana, largely young 

 specimens. The whole ones have 26 segments ; No. 6Y, Fort 

 Snelling, Minnesota, a female; No. 159 Little Rock, Arkansas, a 

 female; No. 197, Mossy Creek, Tennessee, a female; No. 24*7, 

 Chapel Hill, N. C, a male, but not dissected; No. 325, Winona 

 Minnesota, immature; Nos. 16, 442, 444, 448 no localities given, 

 probably from Indiana. 



Besides the localities mentioned, specimens of this species have 

 been reported under one or the other of its synon3^ms, from the 

 following places : 



Alleghany county, Pennsjdvania (Wood); Culmana, Alabama, 

 or Ocean Springs, Mississippi (Packard); Monroe county, Indiana 

 (McNeill); Beaver Creek, Jefferson county, East Tennessee (Boll- 

 man); Washington, D. C. (Bollman); Bloomington, I^a Fayette 

 and Salem, Indiana (Bollman). We found about a dozen speci- 

 mens among leaves in rather dry woods near the Catholic Uni- 

 versity, Washington, D. C, October, 1894. These are represented 

 by figures 138-143. 



The above description was made from the U. S. Nat. Museum 

 material (No. 16, no locality given, but probably from Indiana) 

 from which figures 145-148 were drawn. We cannot, however, 

 be confident that either the description or figures apply to the 

 original caesioannulatus. Descriptions under this name have 

 been published by Wood, Packard and McNeill. None of the 

 characters given by the earlier writers are more than genei'ic, 

 with the possible exception of the size. According to Wood's 

 original description the length was " about an inch." The only 

 species known to us to which this is applicable is G. major ^ from 

 Washington, D. C. Wood's type specimen was from Alleghany 

 County, Pa., and is probably no longer in existence. The only 

 specimens of the genus in the museum of the Philadelphia Acad- 

 emy are a female specimen and a half labeled, probably by Dr. 

 Wood, csesioannulatus. They were collected by Dr. Leidy in 

 West Virginia, and are rather large, of light color, and perhaps 

 more fusiform than usual, in which characters they agree with 

 G. major.
