Notes. Specimens which are intermediate in the extent of the white or yellow elytral markings between the forms described as C. obsoleta obsoleta Say and C. obsoleta santaclarae Bates have been collected at sites in New Mexico and Texas where these two subspecies co-occur. Given the pattern of distributional overlap between these two subspecies illustrated in Figure 18 , intermediate forms might also be expected from sites in Arizona where C. o. obsoleta and C. o. santaclarae also co-occur.

Material examined. 31 adult specimens from the following localities. NM: Grant Co., Silver City ; Lincoln Co., 2 miles N Angus, 40 miles E Corona, Lincoln ; Mora Co., Optimo ; Sandoval Co., Jemez Springs ; Santa Fe Co., 1 mile S junction NM 344 and 372. TX: Jeff Davis Co., 6.5 miles W Fort Davis, 18 miles W Fort Davis.
