Three females from the Gillette and Baker collections, undoubt- 

 edly the type material are labelled " Colo." only. A male w ith 

 same data is labelled cotype, but it can have no such standing as 

 the species was described from females only. This specimen is 

 now designated as neo-allotype. (U.S.N.M.) Other specimens 

 seen are labelled. Alder, Colo., August 25, 1899, Durango, Colo.,
