PARAGROTIS GAGATES Grote. 



Nospcciiiiens; one from Mr. Cockle's collection, less reddish in color 

 than my Culifoniian specimens. 



PARAGROTIS DECOLOR Morrison.'* 



Three hundred and sixty-three specimens, July 24, 25, 26, 27, 

 Au^nist a, 5, «), 11, 12. A very variable species. A specimen in Mr. 

 Cockle's collection has l)een lal)eled Ch(>rl-i(i</rotis ivconcinna Harvey, 

 perhaps b}'' an accidental transposition of labels. 



PARAGROTIS ALBIPENNIS Grote. 



No specimens; two in Mr. Cockle's collection, September 4. 



PARAGROTIS OCHROGASTER Guene'e. 



Seven hundred and eighteen specimens, July 4, !!», 24, 25, 27, 

 August 1, 3, 5, 7, 12, It), 17, 21 (Revelstoke). Very variable and run- 

 ning into three rather definite forms, a light cUw yellow one (var. 

 ■Ulata Walker), a uniform dark brown one (var. turris Grote) and a 

 diversified, strongly marked one, which ma}' ])e taken as the stem 

 form. Several of the extreme forms were taken in copula, so there is 

 no doubt of the specific identity of all. A large, brown, strongly 

 marked female in Mr. Cockle's collection has been named gagates 

 Grote, l)ut it does not agree with the form so named in the National 

 collection. 



PARAGROTIS IDAHOENSIS Grote. 



Five specimens, fJuly 14, 25, August 3, 5, 11. One specimen has 

 the costa and spots pale gray, as in my figure of the type. The others 

 have this color replaced by a lightened shade of the reddish ground 

 color, a little touched with gray. 



PARAGROTIS OBELISCOIDES Guenee. 

 Thirty-three specimens, August (>, 11, 12, 15, Iti, 17. 



PARAGROTIS REDIMICULA Morrison. 

 One specimen. August 13. 



PARAGROTIS COLATA Grote. 



One specimen, August 13 (Sandon, Mr. Currie). It agrees with one 

 that I have under this name from the Yellowstone Park, Wyoming. 



"Hampaon changes entirely the synonymy of this speoie-s, which is No. 1707 in 

 Bulletin 52, U. S. National ^Museum. He refers all four of the Walker names to other 

 species and refers the variety also elsewhere, leavinj; only (liriihn- ^Morrison^cfn/f/fcs'/m 

 Grote as names for this form. This is in contra<liction to Smitii's jirevious (leteruii- 

 nationa of Walker's types.
