onym of respersata only differing in lacking the black spot opposite 

 the cell beyond t. p. line which is a variable feature in the series be- 

 fore us. Teucaria Stkr., described from Seattle, Wash., is a large 

 form of the same species which occurs also on Vancouver Is., B. C. 

 We figure a typical 5 respersata (Fig. 10) from Colorado and also 

 a $ of teucaria (PI. XIII, Fig. 18) from Vancouver Is. 



P. HEBETATA Hist. (PI. XIV, Fig. 7). 



The species was described from 2 $ from Colo, and the only type 

 we could locate was a very worn ? in the Hulst Coll. too rubbed for 

 accurate identification ; from the description, which mentions a broad 

 pale s. t. line, we should judge that hebetata was a rather immaculate 

 form of Grossbeck's decorata, our series from Stockton, Utah, show- 

 ing great variability. The very similar species from Arizona with 

 less sinuate t. p. line and apparently no white s. t. line, which has 

 often been called hebetata, is yavapai Grossb. We imagine from the 

 description that sinuata Warr. (Nov. Zool. XI, 561, 1904) will be 

 one of the species of this group but without a knowledge of the type 

 specimen it is almost impossible to place ; in any case, if we are at all 

 correct in our association, the name sinuata cannot be used as it is 

 preoccupied by sinuata Pack. (1874). We figure typical ? 's of both 

 decorata (Fig. 7) and yavapai (Fig. 8). 



P. excurvata Pack. (PI. XIV, Figs. 13, 14). 



The type of this species, a $ from the Rocky Mts. (Grote) is 

 in the Cambridge Mus. Coll. and proves the species to be the same 

 as spodopterata Hist., over which it takes priority. The type of this 

 latter species in the Hulst Coll. is a Colorado $ whilst in the Neumoe- 

 gen Coll. is a $ from California, both representing the same species. 

 Cinereola Hist., described from Colorado under Diastictis is, accord- 

 ing to the type $ from Glenwood Spgs., Colo., in the Hulst Coll., a 

 rather poorly marked specimen of this same species; in the $ sex, 

 judging by our series, the t. p. line tends to bend slightly inward at 

 costa instead of continuing parallel to the outer margin as in the $ . 

 Orillata Wlk. of which excurvata has heretofore been considered a 

 synonym is a smaller species with more strongly curved and usually 

 heavier t. p. line; curvata Grt. (cruciata Grt.) represents this species 

 in the west and is scarcely separable even as a race. We figure a $ 

 and $ of excurvata from Glenwood Spgs., Colorado.
