Beneath, the secondaries are as above, but the primaries have an orange costa and orange nervures, and a rosy s~ibcostal shade.
Hab. - Santa F6, N. M., 7000 ft., autumn of 1897. Type in U. S. Natl. Museum. This
beautiful moth is closely allied to soruria Hy. Edw., from La Paz, Lower California, and H. kwalafai Neum., from S. W. Arizona, both known as yet only in the 9.
Dr. H. G.
Dyar is of the opinion that all three belong to one species ; but since olivine comes from a different life-zone from the others, and differs from them in many particulars, it seems best to regard it as a distinct race, at least, until the contrary is proven.
I will take this opportunity of referring to a Scejsis which I took last year at Albuque- rque, N. M., September 16, on a purple aster. Dr. Dyar identifies it as 5. ftt/vIcollis I-lbn. The collar is quite red, not pale as in the race fallens I-Iy. Edw., which is supposed to occupy the Rocky Mountain region to
the exclusion of the type.
