food. He thought no larvae would be found in the wells en- 

 tirely lined with stone, as is ordinarily the case. 



Mr. Knab stated that the idea that the red color of chi 

 ronomid larvae indicated that they inhabit deep water is er- 

 roneous. He had on several occasions found large colonies of 

 such blood-red chironomid larvae in very shallow water and 

 evidently thriving.

A NOTE ON COLORADIA. 



BY HARRISON G. DYAR. 



In describing Coloradia lois (Proc. Ent. Soc. \Y;ish., xni, 

 89, 1911) it now appears that I misidentified the form cior/'s 

 Barnes. Dr. Barnes, recently on a visit, showed me ;i photo- 

 graph of his type don's, which is undoubtedly the same MS 

 lois. This leaves the other form unnamed. It may be called 

 loipenia, n. var. Similar to -pandora Blake, smaller, the hind 

 wings whitish in ground and nearly without red tint; fore 

 wing more densely irrorated with white. 



Four males, one female; Colorado; the only specimen 

 bearing exact locality is from Glen wood Springs (W. Barnes). 



Type: No. 14500, U. S. National Museum.
