66 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Eresia texana, Edw. — Dripping Spring, Organ Mts., N. M., 5600 ft., 

 April 20. (Ckll.) 



Catopsilia sc/uice, L. — Mesilla Valley, N. M. Mr. S. Macgregor 

 took a $ var. orbis, Poey, near Little Mountain. The varieties named 

 orbis, Poey ; pallida, Ckll.; hyj>erice, Sepp., and pomona, Donov., appear 

 to be practically identical. 



EucJiloe Reakirti, Edw. — I took a 9 of this at Dripping Spring, 

 Organ Mts., N. M., April 24. The lower wings are delicately suffused 

 with lemon-yellow, showing some transition towards sfella, but in all other 

 respects the insect is true Reakirti. The insect has hitherto, I believe, 

 only been found in California. 



Lyccena acmon, Dbl. and Hew. — This species has a vertical range of 

 at least 6000 ft. ! At Mesilla Park, N. M., I bred it from Astragalus 

 Wootofii, Sheldon. 



Thanaos clitus, Edw. — I saw, but failed to capture, an example of 

 this beautiful species at the western base of the Organ Mts., N. M., at 

 the end of August. My recollection of it accords exactly with the figure 

 in Dr. Holland's "Butterfly Book." 



The following 14 species were collected by Mr. W. J. Howard in 

 Grant Co., N. M. : 



Satyrus alope, race nephele, Kirby. — $ . Similar to fig. 4, PI. XXVI., 

 of Holland's " Butterfly Book," except that there are three of the minute 

 ocelli on the under side of the secondaries. This really belongs to 

 Edwards's race olympits, by its locality and comparatively pallid colour ; 

 but the ocelli on the primaries are much larger than in Edwards's fig. 6, 

 PI. HI., of Satyriis. 



MelitcEa leanira, r3.ce/ulvia, Edw. — In the specimen before me, the 

 secondaries beneath are yellowish-white with black markings, instead of 

 " yellow-buff," but they may have faded. There is much resemblance to 

 the Californian, M. IVrig/itii, as figured by Holland, but there is not the 

 fulvous at the base of the primaries, and the secondaries beneath are not 

 so heavily marked in our insect. 



Melitcea thekla, Edw. — One specimen. Euvanessa antiopa, L.; 

 Fyrameis cardui, L.; P. huntera, Fab.; Eiiptoietaclaudia, Cram.; Synchloe 

 iacinia, var. crocale, Edw.; Anosia arc/tippus, Fab.; Meganostoma ccesonia, 

 Stoll.; Colias eurytheme, Boisd.; Terias mexicana, Boisd.; T. nicippe, 

 Cram.; and Hderocliroa californica, Butler.
