Seven males, 7 females. Montana, L. Bruner (L. Bruner; S. IL

Bruner states that the Montana specimens were taken near FTelena 

 "among the trailing junipers on north mountain slopes, at moderate 

 elevations." He also states that the colors of the living insect are 

 much more vivid than iu cabinet specimens. " The yellowish hair- 

 lines and dorsal line of the abdomen are glossy white, while the front 

 and lower surface are of a bright lemon yellow; the brown is a bright 

 hazeL'^ 



In some specimens, especially of the female, the pronotum is crossed 

 by a narrow testaceous stripe which cuts the darker markings, running 



'Bruner states that the tegmina are sometimes absent, but I think only from indi- 

 viduals that hiive lost them by accident. I have seen only one in which they were 

 lost from both sides; several iu whifh they have been lost from one side. __„:_v__ ^.
