Triprocris smithsonianus Clemens. 



Not uncommon in the Rocky Mountain region, Colorado and 

 Arizona. I have described the larva on Allionia nyctaginea.* 



Triprocris aversus Hy. Edwards. 



This species is not before me, and may not be correctly referred 

 generically. It was described from Mexico, but recorded from 

 Arizona from specimens in the collection of Dr. Barnes, I believe. 



Triprocris lustrans Beutenmiiller. 



Very similar to smithsonianus, but much larger and differing 

 in venation. In smithsonianus, veins 8 and 9 of fore wings are 

 coincident, 10 separate. In lustrans, 10 is stalked with S -f 9. 

 I have a specimen that I got from Mr. Oslar, collected in Colo 

 rado, and another from Tlalpam, near Mexico City, Mexico, 

 from Mr. R. H. Hay. 



Triprocris constans Hy. Edwards. 



This is not before me, but is presumably referable to this genus. 



Triprocris sancta Neumoegen & Dyar. 



I have specimens from Fort Grant (Hubbard), Chiricahua Mts. 

 (Hubbard), and Bright Angel, Arizona (Schwarz and Barber), 

 the latter taken between June 17 and July 20. 



Triprocris desertus Hy. Edwards. 



Described as a Lycomorpha (Syntomidae) and the types are 

 lost. I include the name only so as not to lose sight of it pend 

 ing the discovery of more specimens. 



Genus ADSCITA Retzius. 

 SYNOPSIS OF SPECIES. 



Fore wings marked with ocherous yellow rata 



Fore wings marked with red latercula 



Adscita rata Hy. Edwards. 



My specimens are all labelled "Ariz.", without exact localities 

 or dates.
