The above quotations will probably convince any student that 
the five names concerned belong to very closely related forms. 
Watson (Bib. Index 241. 1878) recognized the identity of 
Hooker's three species but seems to have forgotten these variations 
when he came to treat Palmer’s collections from Northern Mexico. 
Hemsley (Biol. Cent. Amer. 1: 229. 1880) records L. bimaculatus 
from ‘‘Toluca, in alpine meadows, 12000 feet.’”’ As this is in the 
State of Mexico, it might well be expected that this will prove to 
be a distinct variety if not a separate species.
