In 1924 (Proc. U. S. N, M. Vo1. 64, Art. 20, pp. 4-6) Cushman reviewed the North American species of Cidaphus pointing out diagnostic characters for the separation of C. paniscoides from two species which he described as new under the names C. occidentalis and C. australis. At that time the only Canadian record for a member of the genus was that of the female type specimen of occidetalis from Revelstroke, B. C. The distribution given for paniscoides, N. H., N. Y., Pa. and Md. indicated that this species also probably would be found to occur in Canada.
