COLORADO: 1, Mineral County, about 37° 27' N., 106° 54' 'V., near the junction
ofWolf and Fall Creeks, about 7900 ft. alt., vegetation of oak, Engelmann spruce,
etc., June 20, 1919.
This falls with the male which I have, without having definite proof,
regarded as belonging to cymbalarice. It differs from a Florissant specimen
in lacking the upper (somewhat enlarged) ends of lateral face-marks,
in not having distinctly red hair on scutellum, in the smaller and entirely
yellow scutellar spots, and in the more obscure band on first abdominal
segment. These differences might all fall within the limits of variation.
