Hah. — Arizona : Cochise Co., July 4th ; Baboquavaria Mts., 

 Pima Co., July 15, O. C. Poling; Colorado. 



Two males and two females in fair to good condition. The two 

 exanjples from Cochise Co. belong to the U. S. National Museum 

 and are purchased specimens. The Colorado example is out of the 

 old Hulst collection and has no data as to date, exact locality or 

 collector.

 strongly marked characters and by the very slightly sinuated t. p. 

 line ; both lines starting from very feebly indicated enlargements on 

 the costa. 



The male shows no obvious sexual peculiarities on the wings, legs 

 or abdomen ; but the antennse have the segments with longer lateral 

 cilia.
