The two labels I have are 391st and 392st. Please do send the collection data for these two specimens. The specimens are genus Pedetontus, subgenus Verhoeffilis. The appear to be very similar to the description of Pedetontus submutans (Silvestri 1911) known from Washington and Oregon, but I do not think I can make a specific determination at this point. Anyway, this is a new genus for Alaska. Thank you so much for your help. Sincerely, Matthew Bowser
