. Bulletin. Natural history; Natural history. cT Abdominal tergites 9SUBCENITAL PLATE. ing in it a single species described as new under the name Carolina. After seeing the typic specimens in 1939, I realized that the female Illinois specimen questionably re- corded as Capnia vernalis in my papers of 1929 and 1935^ was N. Carolina Banks and not the female of a species of Capnia. Both males and females are easily recog- nized because of the characters of the wings. Although no seasonal data are as- sociated with the typic specimens, the date of capture of the Grayville, 111., specimen on March 8, 1928, and collection of other specimens in other states, places this spe- cies in the winter faunal list. To facilitate recognition of this species, I present figs. 28, 29 and 30, w^hich illus- trate the important structural characters of the adult males and females, as well as the nymphal mouthparts. The dorsal view of a nymph is shown in fig. 31. Fig. 29 represents a specimen from North Caro- lina ; fig. 30 represents specimens from Illinois and Indiana. The structure of the nymph confirms its placement in the Cap- niidae. In addition to assigning correctly now the Grayville, 111., March 8, 1928, female speci- men to the species Nemocapn'ia Carolina, there- by adding another genus and species to the Illinois list, I wish to add the following new records for the distribution of this recently described species. Arkansas.—Benton, Salt Creek: April IS, 1939, H. H. & J. A. Ross, 1^. Indiana.—Rogers, White River: April 17, d" Abdominal tergites d* Abdominal segments.
