 rather dark blue-green; pleura dark blue-green: tegulae piceous ; wings

Longs Peak Inn, Colorado, July 19 (Cockerel!). Also one 

 on July 21. A western mountain representative of H. I'iri- 

 datus. The sculpture of the metathoracic area separates it at 

 once from the superficially similar H. ruidoscnsis Ckll. In 

 the second specimen the upper part of clypeus and supra- 

 clypeal area are not brassy.

 of second segment, and pair of subdorsal yellow spots on fourth and 

 fifth segments.
