Remark. — Walker (Cat. Dermap. Salt., IV, 730) marks this species as a 

 variety of CE. plicenicoptera. I noticed in Nebraska vvliat appeared to be 

 specimens of this species with the inside of the posterior femora yellow, and 

 in other respects forming an intermediate link between this and Qb. rugosa.
