o The specimens upon which Mr. Todd based the al>ove tentative name are, as he 

 remarks, conspicuously different from ordinary females of C. r. rufipennis; but they 

 are so closely similar to immature males of that form that I strongly suspect error in 

 the determination of sex by the collector. An adult female from Saboga Island (the 

 reddish-tinted specimens being from San Miguel Island) is precisely like adult females 

 from the mainland.
