Length 14 to 16 mm., the size large as in formosa manitoba Leng. Halotype, allotype, and eight paratypes the humeral lunule, middle band, and apical lunule completely confluent, the dark part of each elytron reduced to a triangular area extending to the apical third on the suture as figured; four paratypes similar but with feeble dark suffusions at the junction of each middle band with the humeral and apical lunules; one paratype with the middle band well separated from the lunules, the pattern in this specimen as in an average specimen of manitoba.

‡ I received recently from Mr. Brooks eight additional specimens of gibsoni which he collected at Pike Lake, Sask., on April 28, 1940. In three of these, the elytra are marked as in the holotype. In two, the dark areas of the elytra are a trifle larger than in the holotype, and there are dark suffusions at the junctions of the middle bands and apical lunules. In two others, the dark areas are only two-thirds as large as in the holotype. In one specimen, a triangular dark area is lacking, only the basal declivity between the humeri and a narrow sutural bead on each elytron remaining dark.

Pike Lake is a sand hill area situated about ten miles southwest of Saskatoon and approximately 140 miles northeast of the type locality.
