washes, and not usually intermingled with the green variety. Both varieties, or 

 sub-varieties, were found on the Laramie plains. 



C. fulgida. This beautiful species I have found abundant in Western Kansas 

 and Southern Wyoming. They frequent the upper banks, contiguous, but at some 

 distance from water, among the buffalo grass. Their quick flight, together with 

 the unbared situation, render it difiicult to obtain them in numbers. 



C. hyperborea. Common at Como, Wyoming, near the lake's edge, with vidgaris. 



C. circumpicta. This species seems to be confined to bared alkaline spots, at least 

 it has been in such localities that I have taken them in Western Kansas and 

 Nebraska.
