In this, as in other IJiifones, the females are larger than the males; and the latter are usually less variegated in colors. The li. /. ratyinpanic crest is represented by an angle of the i)ostorbital in the great majority of spec- iiiKMis, but in seventeen specimens tiie fanner is quite as distiiuit as in nnmenuis specimens of the />. L lenfifjimtnifi. These belong to Nos. 2181, 2193, 2172, 2174, 2197, 2557, 5372, and 19900. Nevertheless, it is true that the subspecies B! I. amcricdniis maintains its characters entirely within the range of the />. /. lentiniiiosiis, as is evidenced by specimens from Prairie Mer Rouge, La. (2557), Milledgevilie, (9139), Monti- cello, Miss., and elsewhere. As already deserilu'd, the ;toid ghiiids of this species are long and rather narrow. A vaiietal form has them wider and renifonn in out- line. The live individuals which display this character are from north- I If J.
