This insect reminds me very nuich of some of the pale winged species of Trimero- 

 irnph, to which it bears a strong resemblance at iirst glance. The s{)ecies seems to 

 be rather local in its distribution, l)ut may oc<ur across the boundary line in Mexico 

 as well. 



HIPPISCUS CORALLIPES Haldeman. 



One female, Cataliiia Mountain.-;. .lune ♦>. 



Scudder, in his ta))le," says the inside of the hind femora is l)hte, Init 

 the original description gives it as ))right vermilion. This specimen 

 from Catalina Mountains agrees \vith the original description. II!]>-
