  P. 
  n. 
  volucris 
  has 
  been

  from 
  Montana, 
  Wyoming, 
  Nebraska, 
  

   Texas, 
  Arizona, 
  and 
  Mexico; 
  P. 
  ti. 
  nebrascensis 
  from

   regions 
  mentioned

  long

  the 
  dimorphism. 
  The 
  antennae 
  of

   ern 
  examples 
  are 
  relatively 
  longer 
  than 
  in 
  those

  form 
  P. 
  n.
