456 PROCEEDINGS OF THE ACADEMY OP [Oct.,. 



The wing-band is narrow in all the Calif ornian specimens, while the- 

 apex of the wing is hyaline. The color of the disk is similar to that 

 seen in specimens from the Huachuca Mountains, Arizona. 



The previous records of the species cover localities extending from 

 northern Utah to southern New Mexico and Arizona, this being the first 

 record of the species from California. The elevation at which the 

 Providence Mountains specimens were taken, 2,000 to 2,300 feet, 

 appears to be lower than any from which the species has previously 

 been recorded. The species was found to be scarce. 



Trimerotropis pseudofasoiata Scudder. 



A pair of specimens from Coronado Beach, where they were taken 

 in beach vegetation among sand dunes, August 15 and 16, are referred 

 to this species. These specimens have a distinct but rather weak 

 wing-band which reaches the caudal margin, but is hardly continued 

 at all toward the anal angle. This band is narrowly severed imme- 

 diately caudad of the spur, the latter extending nearly half the distance 

 to the base, while the apex is hyaline except for the infuscation of 

 some of the veins. 



The measurements of the Coronado Beach specimens are as follows : 



The species has been recorded from localities extending from Wash- 

 ington to southern California, east to Colorado. The specimens 

 taken were quite feeble, probably due to recent emergence. 



Circotettix shastanus Bruner. 



Three males of this species were taken on bare, almost precipitous 

 walls of rock at 4,800 feet elevation in the Yosemite Valley, September 

 1. In such locations specimens were plentiful, keeping up a constant 

 loud clattering. Owing to their vigorous flight and the character of 

 the environment they were very difficult to capture. The specimens 

 are quite uniform in coloration, though exhibiting some little individ- 

 ual variation in size, agreeing fully in all respects with Bruner's and 

 Scudder's descriptions of the species. 



Originally described from Hazel Creek, Shasta County, California, 

 the species has since been recorded by Scudder from Siskiyou, Oregon, 

 and Yosemite Valley.
