immature, however, to warrant anything but mentioning. One 
of them is from Boulder, Colorado (T. D. A. Cockerell), X, 
1905, and the other from Goat Creek, Ashford, Washington 
(Miss Hortense Butler), XI, 12, 1905. All of these specimens 
are at Cornell University, Ithaca, New York.

"Dictyopteryx Pictet, Ris et auct. partim.” Klapdlek. 
Klapdlek characterizes this sub-genus as follows; “A more or 
less regular network of cross-veins in the tip of the wings; the 
distance between the posterior ocelli and the inner margin of the 
eyes at least two-thirds of the distance between them.” 
We have a single female specimen unlike any of the other 
species of the tribe in venation and coloration, which I am placing 
here as a possible member of the genus. The striking coloration, 
yellowish spotted with black, agrees well with that of some of 
the European species and the venation is like that of the Euro- 
pean ones in so far as it is stated.
