The stem, besides heing more Stender, is irregular, contorted, and nodulose, besides being W00lly. From Cordyceps Roberisii, again, it differs in thobroader and shorter head , as Ueli as in the character of the stem. A comparison os the figures of tho tWo Will show that there is nodifficulty in distinguishing them. To the entomologiSt, an importunt dist0reneo from both the oth 0r species Will be recogniZed in theclubs Springing from any part of the b0dy of the insuet.
