* This record has been published by Dr. Dyar. It depends on a single specimen from the 

 Coquillett collection in the U. S. National Museum. There are no other records of the species 

 from the west coast of America and we hare reason to believe the record Incorrect. We have 

 learned that Mr. Coqulllett's collection contained material from Illinois and California and 

 that the specimens did not bear locality labels when presented to the Museum. They were 

 afterwards labeled by an assistant and there is every reason to believe that an error was made 

 in labeling this specimen.
