Texas (Brownsville), west to south-eastern 



Arizona (Huachuca Mountains). The material <" "> ^\~g^ 



examined was taken on dates ranging from ^ 



.March to August. Fi S s - J 9 and fj\J*t; 



6 noptera uhleriana 



Remarks. — Saussure and Zehntner's Temno- fulvescens&SLUss.and 

 pteryx texensis appears to be an absolute fnKate ofd^X 5) 

 synonym of their fidvescens, which has page and$(x4). Male; 

 precedence to warrant its usage, texensis having Imll^oXomhna! 

 been based on the female, while fulrescens was 



applied to the male. The center of maximum differentiation of this 

 form is in Texas, individuals from that State usually having the 

 characters separating the race from uhleriana most decided. The 

 size does not vary greatly in Texas and North Carolinan individuals, 

 but in southern Georgia and Florida there is a great diversity in size 

 of males, quite small specimens being in the minority in the Thomas- 

 ville series, and in the majority in the Jacksonville lot, while the single 

 Eustis, Florida male is the smallest seen and furnishes the minimum 

 measurements given above. From this it appears probable that 

 the form decreases in size southward in Florida. 



The coloration varies but little, the most striking type being that 

 seen in the figure of Temnoptcryx texensis (vide supra), which is almost 

 matched in a female before us from Brownsville, Texas, otherwise 

 inseparable from Florida individuals. There is, it might be added, 

 some slight variation in the amount of sinuation to the distal margin 

 of the female tegmina. The specimen from Lake Drummond, Va., 

 shows strong tendencies toward true uhleriana.
