Book, p. 102 : "The species ranges from Colorado to 

 Mexico". 



One d" taken at Sioux City July 21, 1915. This 

 specfimen was in perfect condition, and could hardly 

 have flown a long way. 



Ecpantheria dcflorata Fab. Neumoegen and Dyar, 

 Jn. N. Y. Ent. Soc. I, 175. 1893 ; "Southern Atlantic 

 States to New York". 



A larva feeding on Liparis liliifolia was taken on 

 Sept. 25, 1917 b}' Prof. Shimek, in the vicinity of 

 Iowa City. Considering the nature of both flora and 

 fauna in this part of the state it seems strange, not 

 that this specimen was taken here, but that the species 

 is not recorded more frequently. 



Maenas restalis, var. amelaina Dvar, Neumoegen & 

 Dyar, Jn. N. Y. Ent. Soc. II. 2, 1894: "California and 

 the Pacific Northwest." 



Dyar's List, p. 87: "Pacific States." 



One 5, Sioux City, May 1916, det. W. T. M. 

 Forbes. 



Apatela quadrata Crote. Smith, Proc. U. S. N. M. 

 xxi, 106. 1899: "California; British Columbia; Cal- 

 gary, Canada ; Nebraska and Kansas". 



Both Nebraska and Kansas are large states, but the 

 capture of one 9 at Sioux City, Aug. 21, 1917, 

 extends the range beyond the most liberal interpret- 

 ation of Smith's remarks.

Smith. B. 44. U. S. N. M., p. 32, 1893. "Canada to 

 Texas ; Colorado ; Northern States, and Canada in 

 June and July." 



Three specimens. Sioux Citv. Mav 22, 1914; luly 

 19. 1916 and Aug. 15, 1916. The range of variation 

 exhibited by the three specimens is m^rk'^fl, but all 

 are of this species.
