^ Alophora fenestrata Bigot. The type was from Nevada, while the specimens 

 referred to this species in my Revision of the Taciiinidpe, page 46, were from New- 

 Hampshire. A specimen from Moscow, Idaho, since received from Prof. J. M. 

 Aldrich, agrees better with Bigot's original description, and probably belongs to 

 the species he had before him; this specimen, however, belongs to the genus 

 Phorantha, and the wings have a much more vittate appearance than the New Hamp- 

 shire specimens. The latter will therefore require a new name, for which splendida 

 is proposed.
