In January of 1924 (Can. Ent., vol. LVI, No. I, p. 2.), I created the genus Hoppingiana to receive a species of Melyrid that did not fit into any of the previous generic definitions. Of late considerable discussion has arisen over the possibility that Hoppingiana brevilabris Blais. is the true Dasytes hudsonicus of LeConte. My male specimen of hudsonicus Lec. was received from Wickham and was collected in the alpine regions of Colorado.
