In addition to the type and allotype, a series of eleven males, 

 eighteen females and two immature females bearing the same 

 data, are designated paratypes. The specimens from Banff were 

 taken by Sanson [Walker On.], that from Lake Louise by Mrs. 

 Schaeffer on July 5 [A. N. S. P.], that from Mount Kokanee by 

 Caudell, at 9000 feet, on August 10, 1903 [U. S. N. M.], and the 

 male from Wallace on August 5, 1917 [Davis On.]. 



The species was found at the type locality to be very numerous 

 on coarse herbage among the rocks. It was not, however, gen- 

 erally distributed but occurred in isolated spots of similar ecologic 

 conditions. 



Caudell found the species with rainierensis, in about equal 

 numbers, in the alpine herbage of Paradise Valley on Mt. Rainier, 

 in July, 1906. The series taken is before us, from the National 

 Museum and Walker Collections. It is of interest to note that 

 though rainierensis was found there in great numbers by Rehn 

 and Hebard on August 23 and 24, 1910, the present species was 

 not met with at all. 

 Bradynotes kaibab 37 new species (Plate XXIX, fig. 12.) 



The present species is closely related to B. compacta Morse 

 (see plate XXIX, fig. 14), described from Ormsby County, Nevada, 

 and to B. pinguis Scudder (see plate XXIX, fig. 11), the type of 

 which is from "Reno," 38 Nevada. Nearest relationship is with 

 pinguis, the- present insect differing in the smaller size, slightly 

 broader form and in the male sex in the much more slender cerci. 

 The more elongate pronotum with much more conspicuous and 

 continuous lateral carina in compacta, readily distinguishes that 

 species, in males of which the supra-anal plate is more nearly 

 elongate triangular, the cerci much as in the present species. 



The female sex closely resembles a diminutive condition of 

 that sex of pinguis. The carinae of the fastigium are, however, 

 distinct between the eyes, obsolete or subobsolete above the 

 foveolae, a condition not found in any other species of the genus. 



In the present series two males and four females have the 

 caudal tibiae nopal red, in the other five females the proximal 

 portions of the caudal tibiae are, to different degrees, deep bluish 



37 Named for the tribe of Paiute Indians who inhabited this region. The 

 tribal name derived from kaiba = mountain. 



38 Probably from a high elevation in the mountains near Reno.
