Calliopsis coloradensis, Cresson. 



Las Vegas, Aug. 2, $ ( W. Porter) ; Aug. 5, at Helianthus 

 annuus. The eyes in life are pale sage-green. 



Calliopsis lepidus, Cresson, var. a. 



$ . Near C. rhodopliilus, but face-marks white. ($ differs 

 from rhodophilus by the wholly black scape. The $ agrees 

 with Cressou^s description of C. lepidus, except that the hair 

 on the basal joint of tarsi beneath is barely fulvous ; the 

 dog-ear marks on the face are present, whereas in rhodophilus 

 they are wanting. I sent a drawing of the Las Vegas lepidus 

 to Mr. I'ox, ^\ho kindly compared it with Cresson^s type, 

 and reported : " The face-marks of Calliopsis lepidus agree 

 almost exactly with your drawing. Tlie only dilference is 

 that the lateral marks are slightly narrower than in the 

 drawing.'^
