notum shining black, slightly bluish, with the sides and posterior margin 

 orange ; the front margin sometimes narrowly edged with orange. Meso- 

 notum shining bluish black bordered on the sides posteriorly with orange. 

 The elevated X has the fore limbs touched with orange, in front of which are 

 the usual four orange spots arranged in a semi-circle. In some of the darker 

 specimens from Oregon the mesonotum is more nearly black. Metanotum 

 black edged posteriorly with orange. Tergum shining black, with the same 

 slightly bluish tint of the parts already described ; the segments very nar- 

 rowly edged posteriorly with orange, the orange most conspicuous at the 

 sides. In some of the Oregon specimens the tergum is nearly all black. 

 Uncus black. Beneath, the legs are orange blackened at the joints and con- 

 siderably blackened on the inner side of the fore femora. The abdominal 

 segments are blackened centrally, orange on the posterior margins, also with 

 a black spot on each segment at the sides.. Valve black, sometimes orange at 

 the sides along the upper margin. In some of the specimens from Colorado 

 the valve is entirely orange.

 in its range.
