 1874. It was taken in the White Mountains of northeast Arizona. The female 

 was described by the same author in the Can. Ent. in 1883. A few females have

 Florida, S. W. Colorado, in 1883, under the name aberration nokomis. In 1900 

 Prof. Cockerell found a variety of the species at Beulah which he named nigro- 

 coerulea. This species has heen one of the great rarities in collections, and it is 

 probably due to the fact of its late flight and very local habitat. It was abundant 

 after the middle of August below Barker's ranch (7200 ft.), but I did not see a 

 single specimen in the canon above this place. Their headquarters seemed to 

 be between Barker's saw-mill and Heinlen's ranch. Their flight is swift and the 

 species is wary, but is readily taken if approached carefully while it is feeding on 

 the flowers of a tall sunflower which grows rather abundantly at this place in the
