THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST 259 



Paratype. — Female, collected by the writer at Fillmore, 

 Ventura Co., Calif., Aug. 7, 1915, and now in the collection of 

 Mr. Williamson. 



Other material examined included thirteen males and a second 

 female from Fillmore, Calif., and five males from Santa Barbara, 

 Calif., all of which were of the dark typical coloration. A series 

 of specimens from Arizona with less black were as follows: A 

 male in Dr. Calvert's collection labelled "A. solita" by Hagen 

 and which had been associated in the M. C. Z. collection with the 

 type of solita. See figs. 17-22. Seven males and a female from 

 the Huachuca Mts., Arizona, collected by Dr. Hine, July 28-29, 

 1907, and now in Mr. Williamson's collection. A single male from 

 the Santa Rita Mts., Arizona, in the Snow Collection, Kansas 

 University, collected by Dr. F. H, Snow, in June, at an elevation 

 of 8,000 feet. 



I take pleasure in naming this after Dr. Hine, a suggestion 

 made by Mr. Williamson.
