HABITAT. Texas, Arizona, Colorado. 



The types are all ID the collection of the American Entomological 

 Society. The differences between them consist in the relative distinct- 

 ness of the maculation, the discal and basal black spot of secondaries 

 disappearing entirely in mortua. In retaining the term pacltardii for 

 this species instead of mortua, which has priority by half a page, I feel 

 sure that I am in accord with Mr. Grote's wishes on the subject.
