  (same). 
  A 
  specimen 
  (female) 
  in 
  the 
  National 
  Museum, 
  

   from 
  Alaska 
  perhaps 
  belongs 
  here. 
  

  

  The 
  species 
  has 
  also 
  been 
  reported 
  from 
  Montana 
  (Thomas), 
  north- 
  

   ■west 
  Nebraska 
  (Bruner), 
  Souris 
  Kiver, 
  Assiniboia 
  (Scudder), 
  Lake 
  of 
  

   the 
  Woods, 
  Manitoba 
  (Caultield), 
  Minnesota 
  (Scudder), 
  mountains 
  east 
  

   of 
  ^Middle 
  Park, 
  Colorado 
  (Thomas), 
  and 
  New 
  Jersey 
  (Beutenmiillor). 
  

   It 
  therefore 
  occurs 
  in 
  a 
  broad 
  belt 
  along 
  our 
  northern 
  border 
  from 
  the 
  

   Atlantic 
  nearly 
  or 
  quite 
  to 
  the 
  Pacific. 
  

  

  As 
  seen 
  in 
  the 
  above 
  description, 
  the 
  species 
  occurs 
  in 
  two 
  forms, 
  a 
  

   moderately 
  short-winged 
  form, 
  to 
  which 
  the 
  name 
  M.f. 
  curtus 
  (Plate 
  

   XYIII. 
  figs. 
  2-3) 
  maybe 
  given 
  (it 
  was 
  once 
  described 
  as 
  curtiis)', 
  and 
  

   a 
  very 
  long 
  and 
  broad 
  winged 
  form, 
  which 
  may 
  be 
  called 
  21. 
  f. 
  voJatieus 
  

   (Plates 
  I, 
  fig. 
  c; 
  XVIII, 
  fig. 
  4). 
  The 
  latter 
  is 
  known 
  only 
  from 
  Michi- 
  

   gan, 
  and 
  was 
  brought 
  to 
  my 
  attention 
  by 
  Professor 
  Bruner. 
  

  

  During 
  a 
  recent 
  visit 
  to 
  Loudon, 
  Mr. 
  Samuel 
  Henshaw, 
  to 
  whom 
  I 
  

   had 
  given 
  specimens 
  of 
  this 
  species 
  for 
  the 
  purpose, 
  verified 
  by 
  com- 
  

   parison 
  with
