Galleries. — While the galleries of this species have not been defi- 

 nitely recognized from those of D. harheri, with which they are nearly 

 always present, it is evident that they are quite similar in general 

 character to those of D. harheri, especially in the concealed larval 

 mines. 



Distrihution (fig. 58). — (Hopk. U. S.) Arizona: Williams, Flag-
