 CH.EROCAMPIN.E. 

 70.5. Deilephila lineata Fb., Splaun Ranch, May 18, and common generally. 



A species of extremely wide distribution, both in altitude and latitude. 

 It is also neotropical. 



SMERINTHIN.E. 

 706. Smerinthus cerisyi var. astarte Streck. This species is boreal. I only 

 took one imago, but the larva was not uncommon.

 list of the Sphingidse of Colorado ; would that he more often gave us 

 the benefit of his great knowledge of western Lepidoptera aud their 

 habits! There is. however, one thing in the article referred to that I 

 wish to complain of: Triptogon occidentalis and Paonias myops are said 

 to be "common throughout the State," and there are similar state-

 remark "abundant everywhere," may be allowed to pass; but do T. 

 occidentalis or P. myops go above the sub-alpine and lower mid-alpine 

 zones respectively? I very much doubt it, especially in the case of 

 the former, although, of course, I would at once cease to question if 

 Mr. Bruce gave definite facts to the contrary. Should it not rather
