Flint — Neohermes 
259 
Examples of this species from California and Nevada have been 
studied. D. E. Kimmins kindly prepared the accompanying figure of 
the female genitalia from the holotype located in the British Museum. 
He further states that there is a second specimen (male) which was 
apparently the one used by Weele for his figure of the genitalia, but 
that it is not a type candidate. 
The species is closest to N. filicornis from which it is easily sepa- 
rated in the male sex by the forked anal plate, and in the female 
by the more pointed anal plate. 
Male genitalia — Anal plate decurved for apical half, with tip 
bifid; mesal surface of ventral lobe with short, black setae. Aedeagus 
scoop-like, apex produced into a pair of submesal lobes, which are 
developed into slightly sinuous ridges running to the base; lateral 
margin convex. 
Female genitalia — Anal plate triangular, apex produced into a 
distinct point. Gonapophysis lateralis without papilla. 
Length of forewing. — male (20 examples) 34 to 47 mm., ave. 
39.9 mm.; female (21 examples) 36 to 48 mm., ave. 42.9 mm.

This species, as defined herein, is known only from Georgia. There 
are no types of this species in the Hagen collection at the Museum 
of Comparative Zoology, nor are any known to me elsewhere. There- 
fore I am taking the following action which preserves all names. The
