70 KANSAS ACADEMY OF SCIENCE. 



Female: Expands 1.25 inch. 



Color lighter, more yellowish; margins bordered as in male; all spots as 

 in male, but larger; two spots at end of cell on secondaries. 



Under side as in male, but there is a third spot in cell of primaries near 

 base; on secondaries there are three distinct spots in line across basal area, 

 and three parallel to these a little beyond, besides two at end of cell — in all 

 eight spots within the discal row. 



From two males and one female, taken by Prof. F. H. Snow, above tim- 

 ber line on Gray's Peak, Colorado. 



This species is nearest Cupreus Edw,, but differs in several respects, and 

 partakes of the character of some other American species. It is larger than 

 Cupreus (known to me only from Oregon and California). The color of 

 male is almost same as in Americana, and in the broad marginal borders there 

 is another point of resemblance; the spots are disposed nearly as in Cupreus, 

 but the rows are less regular; so too the color of under side is like Cupreus, 

 but the spots are not edged buff, and instead of a complete series of orange 

 spots across secondaries within the margin (much as in Americana, only here 

 the spots are confluent), Snowi has a series of black spots, one only being 

 almost concealed by orange. 



LIST OF COLEOPTERA COLLECTED IN SANTA FE CANON, 



NEW MEXICO, 

 By the Kansas University Expedition for 1880. 



BY PROF. F. H. SNOW. 



The camp in the vicinity of which the 237 species of Coleoptera in the fol- 

 lowing list were collected was situated eight miles from the city of Santa Fe, 

 at an elevation of 7,000 feet above the level of the sea. The party was in 

 the field for four weeks, from August 6th to September 3d, and consisted of 

 the family of the writer, together with Mr. Louis L. Dyche and Miss Annie 

 E. Mozley — students of the University of Kansas. My son and daughter, 

 Willie and Mattie, eleven and ten years of age, obtained several species not 

 collected by the other members of the party. Among the new species dis- 

 covered was a large and polished Onthophagus, of which Dr. Le Conte 

 writes that it is "the most extraordinary addition to our fauna discovered 

 for a long time." Three specimens were obtained of the rare and curious 

 Amphizoa Le Contei, a species which had not previously been detected within 

 the limits of the United States. 



Drs. Le Conte and Horn, to whom I am indebted for many favors in the 

 determination of species, have kindly furnished descriptions of that portion of
