146 PROCEEDINGS OP THE ACADEMY OF [Feb., 



At Silver City, July 20, a single male was taken, while one male and 

 three females were secured at Albuquerque, September 14. 



The Albuquerque individuals are quite dull colored, with, however, 

 a longitudinal line present on the costal areas of the tegmina in three 

 of the four specimens. 



This species has previously been recorded from Mesilla Park and 

 Chaves, New Mexico. 



AULOCARA Scudder. 

 Aulooara rufum Scudder. 



A single freshly moulted female of this species was taken at Silver 

 City, July 20. It is rather dull in color, somewhat resembling speci- 

 mens from Antonito and Nephista, Colorado, the head, pronotum, 

 pleura and caudal femora being covered with numerous small blotches 

 of olive green. 



The only previous New Mexican record was La Cueva, Organ 

 Mountains, September 3. 



AEPHIA St&l. 

 Arphia luteola Scudder. 



A single female taken at Spofford, Texas, July 8, belongs to this 

 species. The disk of the wing is vermilion in color instead of yellow- 

 ish, but there can be no doubt of the specific identity of the specimen. 



Arphia arcta Scudder. 



A male and three females of this species, taken at Fort Wingate, Mc- 

 Kinley County, New Mexico, by John Woodgate, have been examined. 

 The dates represented are April 25, May 11 and August 20, 1908. 

 The specimens have been compared with Beulah, New Mexico, and 

 Jerome, Arizona, material. Three of the four individuals possess red 

 or reddish wings. 



Arphia teporata Scudder. 



On the desert slopes of the Franklin Mountains near El Paso, at 

 elevations of from 4,200 to 4,800 feet, this species was found gener- 

 ally distributed and a series of three males and four females were taken 

 on July 9. Two males were also taken on the edge of the mesa near 

 El Paso, July 11, while a single male was taken at 5,300 feet in the 

 Florida Mountains and one female at Aden, July 21. 



In the Florida Mountains but two specimens were seen, both in 

 dense oak scrub near bare rock slopes, while at Aden a few were seen 

 on the hill visited at that locality, but the species was very wary and 

 difficult to collect.
