PACKARD.] ZOOLOGY MOTHS OF COLOEADO. 559 



owing to the remarkably long spinuleg. On each side of the body, 

 a subdorsal, obscure, rather broad band of yellow on the eight first 

 abdominal rings, not appearing on the thorax. It is an inch in length, 

 and a third of an inch broad. 



UpicalUavirginalis, Boisd. — Two larvae, apparently of this species, and 

 a third hidf-grown, occurred at an elevation above 12,000 feet. The 

 larger ones (alcoholic specimens) were covered with dense, rather long 

 hairs; those on the three thoracic segments being reddish-yellow, and 

 shorter than those behind, which are blackish. The hairs of the young 

 are all black-brown. 



Nemeophila geometrica (Grote). — Bear Creek, June 24 (Carpenter). 



Crocota brevieornis, Walk. — Bear Creek, June 24 (Carpenter). 



Crocotafermginosa, Walk. — Platte Kiver, June 24 (Carpenter). 



Crocota quinaria, Grote. — Bear Creek, June 24, Twin Lakes, at about 

 8.000 feet elevation (Carpenter) ; also Athabasca Eiver, July, Keuni-, 

 cott (Grote). 



Lithosia argillacea, Pack. (Fig. 15). — Twin Lakes, July 16-27. It is 

 rather larger than eastern specimens, one 9 , expanding 1.30 inches. 

 It has also been found on Athabasca Eiv-er by Kennicott, as reported 

 by Mr. Grote. 



Family Zyg^nid^. 



Gnoplioela vermiculata, Grote. — " Pike's Peak" (Grote), mountains of 

 Colorado, August 12-29. Pacific slope, August 29 to September 6 

 (Lieutenant Carpenter). 



Fsychomorpha epimenis, Drury. — Colorado (Eidings). 



Family Sphingid^. 



SmerintJms. A larva of this genus was collected by Lieutenant Car- 

 penter. 



Deilepliila lineata, Fabr. — Colorado (Carpenter). 



Macrosila quinque-maculata (Haworth). — Camp in Colorado, May 2? 

 (Carpenter). 



Besides three species of lepidopterous larvae, found on Elbert Peak, in 

 a shallow pool, 12,500 feet high, were the larvse of Bibio, of Scenopinus (?), 

 and the pupa of a MycetopMUd (?) ; also, a coleopterous larva allied to 

 tliat of AciliuSj but the body slenderer and much narrower, the head 

 wider, and the legs much longer. At the same elevation occurred the 

 cocoons of some fossorial hymenopter, not, however, an ant, and the 

 larva of a Harpalus^ which, in the proportions of the body, closely 

 resembles Schiodte's figure of the larva of Harpalus wneus, Fabr. The 

 head is rather longer, the sculpturing on the upper side much simpler, 

 and the teeth on the clypeus quite different, there being six equal, long, 

 slender, prominent teeth. The labium is shorter and broader than that 

 of the European H. riificornis, Linn. 



The alcoholic collections made by Lieutenant Carpenter also contain a 

 larva of Agahus from a lake near Long's Peak; elevation 9,000 feet; ■
