inct, slightly and diffusely bordered with brown, as is also the subreniform; s.t. line

Very close to junctura, but the form seems to be permanent in 
Colorado, and incidental through Utah and Southward. (See note be— 
low on Jabayaga. )

Habitat. Ariz. Food plant, Willow (Auct. Doll.). 
Mr. Grote has long claimed this insect to be his Arzgone; but his 
type of Avzzon@ is in the posession of the Ent. Soc, of Phila. and is not 
this species. Nor does his description tally with this, but with the type. 
We can not take his recollection against this evidence.
