Glover's Silk-moth
This species, which may be distinguished from the preceding by the more obscure, purplish color of the outer band, which in S. cecropia is bright red, ranges over the region of the Rocky Mountains from Arizona in the south to Alberta and Assiniboia in the north. A small dwarfed form has been taken upon the high mountains of Colorado, to which Neumoegen gave the sub-specific name reducta.
