Tbe bibliography ol" older and Enropcan authors is in('(»ni[)lete and 

 reference shonld be had to Standinger and Walker for other citations. 

 In American literature T have found nothing wortiiy of rcniark. I 

 have seen this si)ecies, or something very closely allied to it, from Cali- 

 fornia. 



L. oxygale (irt.'' 



1881. Grt., Can. Ent., xiii, 11, llclioiilnlu. 



Habitat. — Colorado. 



The type is in the British Museum. 1 Imve ;i specrimiMi carefully 



compiircd with it. Another specimen, mIso marked type, is in the Tep- 



p<'r collection. 



L. prsegracilis (Jrt. 



1877. (;rt., Hull. (J.'ol. Surv., in. lilt, I{clioi>hil<(. 



Habitat. — Idaho, July ; Colorado; New Mexico. 



1 have not seen the tyi)c of this species, and do not know certainly 

 where it is. In the Cambridge collection is a specimen marked Hclio- 

 pliila (jrtu-iUima type; but I find no such si)ecies described. Is it pos- 

 sible that Mr. Urote's descrii)tion was intended for this insect? It is 

 not unlikely, for the description applies fairly well. Mr. Tliaxter has 

 marked it " hicoloraia " and the two are very nearly related if not 



identical. 



L. bicolorata Grt. 



1881. Grt., Papilio. i. 151, IhUopliUa. 

 Habitat. — Tucson, .Vrizona; Colorado; New Mexico. 

 The type is with Mr. Neuimegen, and is, as already suggested, a close 

 ally of the preceding.
