 from Alaska i)erhai)s belongs here. 



The S})ecies has also been reported from ^Fontana (Thomas), norih- 

 west Nebraska (JJruner), Souris Kiver, Assiniboia (Scudder), Lake of 

 the Woods. ^Manitoba (Caulliehl), Minnesota (Scudder), mountains east 

 of Middle l*ark, Colorado (Thomas), and New .lersey (lieutenmiilltr). 

 It tlieretore occurs in a broad belt along our northern border from the 

 Atlantic nearly or quite to the J*acific. 



As seen in the above description, the species occurs in two forms, a 

 moderately short-winged form, to which the name .1/.,/". curtua (J?late 

 XVI II. figs. 2-3) maybe given (it was once described as curtHti)', and 

 a very long and broad winged form, which may be called M.f. rolaticiLs 

 (Plates I, tig. c; XVIII, tig. 4). The latter is known only from Michi- 

 gan, and was brought to my attention by Professor P)runer. 



During a recent visit to London, 3Ir. Samuel Henshaw, to whom I 

 had given specimens of this si)ecies lor the purpose, verified by coin 

 parison with the types in the British Museum their identitj' with 

 Walker's Caloi)tt'nuii fasviat>-
