In the Uhler Collection, U. S. National Museum, there is a male 

 of this variety from "Am. Fk. Can. Ut., June 23, 1891," labeled "P. 

 arcolata Uhl. Det. by Uhler," also a female of the same variety and 

 from the same place and collected at the same time, labeled "P. piit- 

 nami Uhl. Det. by Uhler." This goes to show that Uhler was un- 

 certain about the form which we have here called lutea.
