AMERICAN MACEOLEPIDOPTERA NORTH OF MEXICO.

S. Alope, Fabr., in a similar way as the Gerontogeic P. Egeria, 

 L., looks very different from its African form P. Xiphia, 

 Fahr., with which, nevertheless, it is insensibly united by 

 its intermediate form P. Meone." 1 differ from the above 

 only in that 1 think the more northern Nephele was the stem 

 form from which originally emanated Ariane and Boopis in 

 the west and Alope in the east, and through the latter the 

 splendid Pegala in the south, whilst acclimatization in the 

 dry salt regions of Utah and Arizona resulted in the widely 

 aberrant Wheeleri.

The Eun/dice, L., (Amcen. A cad. Cent. Ins., VI, p. 406, n. 65, 

 1764), of which Cunthus, L., (Syst. Nat., Ed. XII, p. 768, 1767), 

 is a synonym, seems to be an entirely different insect from this, 

 and is most probably Pap. Argant/te, Cram., (Pap. Ex., Ill, 

 t. 204, C, D), a S. Am. species which is on the upper surface 

 uniform brown devoid of all spots. The following is all the 

 description of Clinf/ms given by Linn, in the Syst. Nat. (Ed. 

 XII): "Alis integerrimis fuscis : subtus primoribus occllis 

 (]iiatuor, posticis isenis. Amcen. Acad., 6, p. 40t>, n. 65. Pa- 

 pilio Eurydice. Habitat in America septentrionalis" 



The description of " Eurydice " in Anioen. Acad., referred to in 

 the preceding, is: 



" Papilio Eijrydice D. alis fnscis : subtus primoribus ocellis 

 i|iiatuor, posticis sex.

Herbst (Natursyst,, VIII, p. 70, t. 192) has figured as Cam thus 

 Cramer's Arganthc, which he also refers to Eurydice, Linn. 



Also Fabricins in Ent. Syst., Ill, p. Io7, gives. Eurydice, Can- 

 thus, L., and Arganthe, Cram., as synonymical.
