Until this question of synonymy can be decided positively, we retain Nephivretes. The single North American species, N. nrr/rr, has a singular distribution, being abundant near Puget Sound in summer, and again found in Jamaica and Cuba, M'ithout having been met witli in any intermediate locality, except in the Province of Huatasoo, Mex. The West India specimens are rather smaller, but otherwise not Nephacftfs nii^ Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Baird, Spencer F. , 1823-1887; Brewer, T.
