Common. From 1,000 to 4,000 feet this beetle is of a 



straw color, and much smaller than the Alpine varietv , 



the elytra of which are a shining black. 

 < \mtfiaris xti/f/ica Lee. Common. At 1,000 feet this is not 



found on Ceanothux, and is a vivid green, hut at 3,000 to 



6,000 feet is a uniform dark blue. 



In the four species where I have noted color variation in the 

 foot-hill and Alpine specimens I have not found any that were 

 intermediate. 



From the number of determinations by Dr. LeConte, his 

 specimens must have been collected on Ccanothux, as many of 

 these species are found nowhere else.
