NEW NEARCTIC MECOPTERA, WITH NOTES ON 
OTHER SPECIES 
By F. M. Carpenter 
Museum of Comparative Zoology, Harvard University 
During the three years subsequent to the publication of 
my revision of the Nearctic Mecoptera 1 , a number of new 
and interesting species have come to my attention. Some of 
these were taken by me in the central and western states, 
but by far the majority were received from other entomolo- 
gists, as follows : Mr. E. S. Thomas, Ohio State Museum ; Mr. 
C. A. Frost, Framingham, Mass.; Dr. C. B. Philip, Hamil- 
ton, Montana; Dr. H. B. Mills, Yellowstone National Park, 
Wyoming; Mr. E. P. Van Duzee, California Academy of 
Sciences; Mr. L. C. Lloyd, Seattle, Washington; Dr. H. H. 
Ross, Illinois State Museum, Urbana, Illinois; Dr. Hugo 
Kahl, Carnegie Museum, Pittsburg; and Dr. C. E. Mickel, 
University of Minnesota. To all these I am grateful for 
their cooperation. 
In the present paper I have included the most interesting 
of the new locality records and descriptions of eight new spe- 
cies. Including the latter, the total number of Nearctic 
species is sixty-four.

Four males were taken among pines at Crater Lake, Ore- 
gon, July 16, 1932, at an altitude of about 8,000 feet (F. M. 
Carpenter) . As far as I am aware, these are the only speci- 
mens in addition to the types which have been collected. No 
females were found in spite of careful searching.
