Walsingham established this species on the basis of two specimens 

 which are deposited now in the collection of the British Museum 

 (Natural History). The present author examined both specimens 

 during his visit to London in 1958, and convinced himself of their 

 identity with the species known in the literature as nivisellana. These 

 two specimens, one of which becomes now a lectotype, the other a 

 lectoallotype, are not both females as indicated on labels — ^the lecto- 

 allotype is a male. For the collecting locality of this latter specimen, 

 Walsingham named in his paper "near Rouge River," but the original 

 label of the collector reads "Umpqua River." The latter locality 

 seems to be correct, and corresponds to the map in Walsingham's 

 itinerary published by Essig (1941). At the Rogue River (mis- 

 spelled as "Rouge River" in Walsingham's paper) Walsingham did 

 not collect at all. 



Types. — Lectotype, female. Mount Shasta, Sisldyou County, Calif., 

 Aug. 2 till Sept. 1, 1871 (Walsingham) ; lecto-allotype, male, Umpqua 

 River, Douglas County, Oreg., Apr. 28 till May 3, 1872 (Walsingham). 

 Both types in BM.
