 more fuscous than reddish, the anterior margin pale yellowish and not

 dark fuscous as in apache, but the embolium and more than half of

This species was found breeding abundantly on Rohinia 

 neomexicana near Williams, Arizona. The writer has never 

 seen any species of Lopidea so abundant as was this one on the 

 trees of R. neomexicana around the camping grounds set 

 aside in the forest preserve two miles west of WilHams. 

 Nymphs as well as adults were taken clustered on the tender 

 flower shoots where they preferred to feed. Strangely enough 

 L. arizonae was not taken here though the botanists determined 

 the trees as identical with those from which arisonae was taken 

 at Bonita.
