 Subia near Bogota and a series from Santa Marta, from specimens of gut-

Specimens from the Paramo Zone of the Central Andes are slightly 

 larger than others from Pichincha and Chimborazo, Ecuador. All, however,

 black. Females from La Pradera, on the Bogota Savanna, and Choachi, 

 are apparently to be referred to this race. ,
