PARAGROTIS TRIFASCIATA Smith. 



One specimen, which I believe represents this species, described 

 from a single female specimen from Mount Hood, Oregon. My speci- 

 men is a male, but agrees well with the description and a colored tigure 

 in the National Museum made b}^ Professor Smith, except for being 

 darker in tone. 



PARAGROTIS PEREXCELLENS Grote. 



No specimens; one in Mr. Cockle's collection, August 14. T.»til. 

 erroneously labeled rldmydana Grote, is evidently a straggler from 

 the coast region, where the species is common. 



PARAGROTIS FOCINUS Smith. 



One hundred and six specimens, July 15>, 24, i^o, August a, (i, 11. 

 10, and two from Mr. Cockle's collection, July 1. of a uniformly 

 biownish tone, which 1 refer here as extreme forms. A few of those 

 in my series are like them. Another specimen from Mr. Cockle's col- 

 lection has been wwrneA fiistujjvra Crote, but does not agree with. a 

 specimen ])efore me determined by Grote in 1870.
