Status — A rare summer visitant, known to occur in only a limited area in 

 the Santa Cruz Valley, in the vicinity of Tucson. The conditions apparently re- 

 quired by the species, dense growths of tall timber, are met with in Arizona at so 

 very few points, at the low altitudes frequented by the species, that its known 

 range will probably not be greatly extended in the state.

 alpestris arcuicola, part ; Otocoris alpestris enthymia. 



Status — Common winter visitant. There are numerous winter records of
