page 273 note * One male specimen, labelled “Dunsmuir, Cal., Wickham,’ has a faint transverse foscous line or series of dots separating the face from the clypeus. The female specimens have a fuscous clouding on each side of clypeus

page 274 note * In one male specimen, collected at Dunsmuir, California, by Mr. H. F. Wickham, the anterior band is very indistinctly separated from the fuscous depressed portion of the vertex.

page 274 note † This line is usually most distinct in front of the transverse furrow, where it becomes a good-sized spot; it is interrupted at the furrow and in the male specimens is only faintly indicated behind it.

page 274 note ‡ This line is divided into two parts in the females.
