"Beulah, N. M., about 8000 feet, August 5, 1902, one at flowers of dcuta, but 

 doubtless accidental tin that plant, as I could not find any more. There was 

 plenty of Solidago canadensis close by, but it was only just coming into bloom. 

 The locality is about a quarter of a mile down the canon from the Blake house. 



"This insect agrees with P. zebrata rather than with bakerse, but there is no 

 Cleoine within a distance of several miles." — iT. D. A. Cockerrll.)
