the disk, bending inward at the middle with the lateral carinse, sprinkled over 

 \\ith darker dots. Elytra semi-transparent at the tip, with numerous dusky 

 spots, which run together so as to form three transverse bands, the outer one 

 indistinct, apical portion with a few spots. Wings yellow at base; a broad, 

 black, well-defined band occupying the" penultimate fourth, curving and 

 decreasing along the posterior margin, reaching the anal angle ; apical portion 

 transparent, with dark nerves; apex with one or two dusky spots. Posterior 

 femora with three white bands; posterior tibiae red, with a white ring near 

 the base. 



Dimensions. — 9 Length, 1.12 to 1.25 inches; elytra, 1.10 inches; pos- 

 terior femora, 0.fi2 inch ; posterior tibiae, 0.56 inch. 3 Length, 0.9 to 1 inch ; 

 elytra about equal the body.

Remark. — I have specimens from Colorado and Wyoming which I be- 

 lieve belong to this species ; but as they vary somewhat from the type, I 

 hesitate to decide until I have had further opportunity for comparison

Closely allied to CE. cequalis, from which it differs as follows : 

 Frontal costa of the female rather more distinctly sulcate. Middle carina 

 of the pronotum less distinct on the posterior lobe, and a little less elevated 

 on the anterior lobes, notched and severed in two places, the middle portion 

 the shortest. Elytra and wings appear to be a little longer compared. with 

 the length of the body, and the wings more distinctly papilioform. 



Color. — Ash-brown, varied with dusky-brown. Face ash-brown, with 

 dusky dots, male darkest. Pronotum a little darker, dusky spots larger than 

 on the face ; lateral stripes scarcely distinguishable. The black band of the 

 wings is narrower, the outer and inner borders more irregular, somewhat 

 broken at the fii'st sub-frontal nerve, does not reach the anal angle; the sub- 

 frontal space dusky nearly to the base; apex dusky, with a few small fuscous 

 dots. Base and apex of the posterior tibiae black ; middle portion yellowish 

 or plumbeous generally, with a dusky annulation near the middle.
