This neat moth is found in Colorado and thence southward as far as Arizona and Mexico. Genus LEPTARCTIA Stretch There is only one species in this genus, but the single species bv assuming protean colors has caused a great multi- plication of names. We have figured a few of the varietal forms. (1) Leptarctia californiae Walker, Plate XIV, Fig. 25, ?. Form lena Boisduval, Plate XIV, Fig. 28, $ . Form decia Boisduval, Plate XIV, Fig. 27, $ . Form dimidiata Stretch, Plate XIV, Fig. 26, $ . The moth is found in southern California, where it is quite /ommon. The student will have little trouble in recognizing the commoner varieties by the help of the figures we have given, but these are only a few of the forms which occur.
