Remarks. — This race was described by Hampson * as "Subsp. 2" of 

 picta but was not named. Dyar ^ named this race hampsoni but did 

 not designate a type. I now designate a male specimen from Jemez 

 Springs, N. Mex., in the U. S. National Museum, as neotype, since 

 New Mexico is the first locality cited by Hampson.
