HABITAT. Canada; United States generally, except Southern 

 States, June to September. 



The bibliography of older and European authors is incomplete and 

 reference should be had to Staudinger and Walker for other citations. 

 In American literature I have found nothing worthy of remark. I 

 have seen this species, or something very closely allied to it, from Cali- 



fornia. 



L. oxygaie Grt. 



1881. Grt., Can. Ent., xm, 14, Jlelio/i/iild. 



HABITAT. Colorado. 



The type is in the British Museum. I have a specimen carefully 

 compared with it. Another specimen, also marked type, is in the Tep- 

 per collection. 



L. praegracilis Grt-. 



1X77. Grt., Bull. Grol. Surv.., in, 119, 



HABITAT. Idaho, July (J; Colorado; New Mexico. 



I have not seen the type of this species, and do not know certainly 



where it is. In the Cambridge collection is a specimen marked Hdlo- 



phila (/)-cilli((t type; but I find no such species described. Is it pos- 



sible thai Mr. Grote's description was intended for this insect? It is 



not unlikely, for the description applies fairly well. Mr. Thaxter has 



marked it "bieolorata" and the two are very nearly related if not 



identical. 



L. bicolorata Grt. 



1881. Grt., Papilio, i, 154, IlcHo]>Jiil,t. 



HABITAT. Tucson, Arizona; Colorado; New Mexico. 

 The type is with Mr. Neunupgen, and is, as already suggested, a close 

 ally of the preceding.
