 of the males and one of ihe fema'es lack the yellowish stripe along the 

 dorsal surface of the tcgnv'na.

 specimen from Mill Valley, Man., Aug. 10, 1900.

 The female is an extreniely larger example, much larger than any I have 

 seen from the east. Ordinary examples were common elsewhere in B. C. 



15. Spharagemon col/are, Scudd. — Between Souris and Boissevain, 

 Man., Sept. 24. 1897 ; near Brandon, Man., Sept. 23 ; Rush Lake, Assa., 

 Aug. 30 ; Moose Jaw, Assa., Aug. 30; Morse, Assa., Sept. 20 ; Chaplin, 

 Assa., Sept. 20 ; Parkbeg, Assa , Aug. 30, Sept. 20. This is a very 

 common species on the prairies, especially on the semi-arid parts. It 

 shows great variation in colour and markings, and in the height of the 

 median carinse of the pronotum, but all the specimens seem to belong to 

 the typical race col/are. Most of the Assiniboia specimens are collared, 

 but many of the AFanitoba ones lack tiiis fe.ilure and are more uniform in 

 coloration. 'I'he median carina is generally lower. The Manitoba 

 specimens were taken, as a rule, on sandy |)rairies ; those from Assiniboia 

 everywhere in the semi-arid country.
