From page 1: "The present revision has been prepared as the result of recent correspondence with Mr. J. E. Collin, of Newmarket, England, who has furnished information relating to synonymy and has also supplied the Museum with determined European specimens; from his data and the specimens it appears that the North American members of the genus have been misidentified to a large extent. Two species from the Bering Sea region, formerly considered to be identical with European forms, are here described as new".
