 donated an adult pair from the same locality, taken by himself in 

 August. The Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, has a 

 series of 5 males and 8 females from the same locality taken by Doctor 

 Skinner in August, 1905. 



The unique male type of Scudder's Cacopterls ephippiata from 

 Sonora, Mexico, has been examined. It is quite cei'tainly conspecitic 

 with i(nlcolo>\ which was described from the female. Thus it replaces 

 the latter name. 



This species is variable in size and color. Usually it is brownish, 

 but sometimes is yellowish, and some have thc^ pronotuni yellow above 

 with the sides brown, resembling somewhat the coloration of E. 

 sciidderi var. hieolor, and still others have the pronotal disk almost 

 picious.
