FALL j;j I have in this essay used the generic name Pcdilus in place of the long established Corphyra of Say, in deference to the opinion of li Mr. Champion, as expressed in the Biologia, although I have had jl no opportunity of personally verifying his conclusions. The differ- i ences in ventral formation of Pedilus and Corphyra, as originally 11 stated by Du Val, and cited by Horn in his first Synopsis—Trans. I Am. Ent. Soc, 1871, p. 278,—if correctly represented, would^ appear to be amply sufficient for their separation, but there is prob-L ably some misapprehension here. It is a little remarkable that with all the collecting done within II the bounds of California prior to the arrival of the 49ers, no^ species of this genus were made known by either Eschscholtz, Man- nerheim or Motschulsky, although several are more or less abun- I dant in the vicinity of San Francisco.
