Genus PLATYPERXGEA Smith 
This genus has been erected by Prof. J. B. Smith for the 
reception of three species, two of which we figure in the 
annexed cuts, which have been made 
for me from the types through the 
courtesy of 
Dr. H. G. Dyar, 
of Washington. 
All of the species 
have been re¬ 
corded from Colorado. They also occur 
in Wyoming, and I have specimens col¬ 
lected for me in the Freeze-out Mountains in that State. They 
probably have an extensive range in the Rocky Mountains.
