black maculation, in the sympatric specimens of electa examined 
from Texas. Some specimens of vittigera were reared and appear 
to be teneral. This could account for their lack of intense black 
maculations. 
Four specimens which appear to be vittigera have been examined, 
each bearing the label ‘N.J., Sept. 7-8/ a locality well outside the 
normal range of this species. Some of these specimens have spots on 
both the penultimate and last segments. This has been noted in only 
a few other representatives of this species from Mexico. In all 
other respects, such as size, wing pattern, and body coloration, they 
resemble vittigera. Without host data or additional information con- 
cerning the collection of these specimens, it is impossible to decide 
if they represent a distinct species. They are therefore tentatively 
being treated as an adventive of vittigera to New Jersey until further 
information becomes available.

distribution (Map i). This species ranges from just north of 
Mexico, D.F. in the central highlands of Mexico and the southwest 
tip of Oklahoma to northeastern Texas. Its host plant now occurs 
as on advent in Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, and Florida, but vittigera 
has never been recorded from these areas. A single specimen from 
San Francisco, California has been examined, but was collected in 
a Santa Fe Pullman and therefore is not recorded on Map 1.
