Genus SYNEDA Guenee 



Twenty-five species are attributed to this genus and indicated 

 as having their habitat within the territory with which this book 

 deals. It is possible that a final revision of the genus will lead to 

 the discovery that some of the so-called species are merely local 

 races or varietal forms of others. There is considerable dissimi- 

 larity between the sexes in some of the species, and it may be 

 that there is in this fact also an element of confusion. The species 

 which are figured on the plates are such as are for the most part 

 well known and the identification of which is certain.

 Alleghany Mountains.

 ward along the elevated table-lands of the continent to Colorado
