examined through the courtesy of Josef N. Knull, there are two males

In the United States National Museum there are the following

 Jose, male (A. E. Bush) ; Napa Co., female (J. J. Rivers). 



In the Academy Natural Sciences, Philadelphia, there is a male 

 from Mt. Diahlo, Pine Canyon. California, May 10, 1893. 



In the writer's collection there are twenty-two males and thirty- 

 five females collected at Glenwood Springs, Colorado, June, 1919 

 (Oslar). Glenwood Springs is on the Grand River, one of the tribu-

 Mazatlan, Mexico. It is an old, discolored specimen, but the charac- 

 ters are all plain including the shape of the uncus. It appears to 

 belong to the species under consideration.

 those common to the genus, and as in aperta and vanduzeei, except that the 

 membranes at the base of the fore wings are more red than orange. Beneath 

 the legs are mostly chestnut colored, the anterior femora darkened beneath
