Scudderia furcata furcata Brunner (PI. IX, figs. 1 and 2; pi. X, fig. 19.) 



1878. Sc[udderia] furcata Brunner, Monogr. Phaner., p. 239, fig. 72a.

 vi, p. 251. [West Woodstock, Connecticut.] 



Scudder has correctly recognized fasciata as a color variation 

 of the present insect. Such color variations, having no specific 

 or racial importance, we do not consider of sufficient value to 

 receive name designation and we consequently place the name 

 fasciata in the sj'nonymj- here. 



Decided geographic variation within the species, close relation- 

 ship to aS. paronae and great similarity of females of the present 

 insect and S. cuneata over a large area in the southeastern United 

 States, make the treatment of *S. furcata unusually complex. 



The large series at present before us gives ample evidence that 

 not only does a valid geographic race of the present species exist 

 in Mexico, but that two other races are being evolved at the 

 present time, one in the desert mountains of the southwestern 

 United States and the other on the northern Pacific coast of that 

 country.
