  This 
  species 
  was 
  described 
  by 
  Carpenter 
  in 
  his 
  Mazatlan 
  Catalogue. 
  Since 
  the 
  illustration 
  

   of 
  the 
  species 
  properly 
  belongs 
  in 
  that 
  unit, 
  a 
  figure 
  of 
  the 
  species 
  has 
  not 
  been 
  sought 
  for 
  

   this 
  report. 
  The 
  type 
  material 
  consists 
  of 
  numerous 
  specimens 
  in 
  the 
  British 
  Museum. 
  Many 
  

   specimens 
  of 
  the 
  first 
  duplicate 
  set 
  of 
  this 
  species 
  are 
  in 
  the 
  Mazatlan 
  Collection 
  in 
  Albany, 
  

   New 
  York 
  (Palmer, 
  1951, 
  p. 
  13). 
  

  

  Dall 
  (1921) 
  reported 
  the 
  range 
  of 
  the 
  species 
  from 
  Oregon 
  to 
  Mazatlan. 
  Oldroyd 
  (1924) 
  

   stated 
  that 
  the 
  distribution 
  extended 
  to 
  Vancouver 
  Island, 
  but 
  Keen 
  (1937 
  and 
  Burch 
  (1945) 
  

   agreed 
  with 
  Dall 
  (1921) 
  as 
  to 
  the 
  northern 
  range.

  A

  (1865e) 
  was

  The

  the 
  original 
  Carpenter

  No 
  locality 
  is 
  on 
  the

  the 
  label

  states,
