One specimen has veins 4, 5 ot* lore wing stalked. Prof. Dyar 

 writes to me that many of tbo specimens in the I'.S. .Museum have 

 veins li, .") of bind wing stalked: but possibly they have more than 

 one species under the name. Several species of this and the allied 

 genera, as well as certain ArctUulir and Zjf(jtr'ni'Lf, so closely re- 

 semble each other that they arc hardly distinguishable except by 

 neuration.
