Cacoecia semiferana Walker. 



Three specimens. These were the true semiferana, the oak- 

 feeding species, doubtless from the oaks in the canyons near Man- 

 itou. The box-elder species, which has been confused with 

 this, has the same markings, but is much paler, often nearly 

 uniformly creamy white with marks obsolete. It may be called 

 C. negundana. There are likewise two forms under the name 

 C. argyrospila Walk. The bright reddish or ochraceous one 

 may be called C. vividana. I will refer to these more fully in 

 treating of the larvae collected in Colorado. 



There also occurred three specimens of a Pyralid, all in such 

 poor condition as to preclude the possibility of even a generic 

 determination. 



The species normally living above timber line and which were 

 flying in fair numbers at the time, such as Colias meadii, 

 Argynnis helena, Chionobas scmidea, two species of Anarta 

 and several Tortricids and Tineids, were not taken on the snow. 



COLEOPTERA. 



The Coleoptera come next to the Hemiptera in point of num 

 bers, there being twenty species. 



Amara (Lirus} brunneipennis Dejean. 



Six adults and one larva. This is a true Alpine species. It is 

 found in Labrador and has been taken in Colorado, on Mt. Lin 

 coln, at an altitude of- from n,oooto 13,000 feet. It also occurs 

 in New Hampshire. 

 Selenophorus pedicular is Dejean. 



One specimen. Widely distributed east of the Rocky Moun 

 tains. 

 Silpha incequalis Fabricius. 



A single specimen. The National Museum contains specimens 

 from various localities from Texas eastward. 

 Hippodamia convergens Guerin. 



Half a dozen specimens. Distributed all over the United 

 States. 

 Harmonia picta Randall. 



One specimen. Occurs all over the United States. 

 Nitidnla ziczac Say. 



One specimen. The whole of the United States. 

 Podabrtis later alls LeConte. 



Two specimens. Occurs in Colorado, Arizona and Utah. 

 Collops bipunctatus Say. 



One specimen. There are specimens in the collection of the 

 National Museum from Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico, An
