222 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST 



the bestowal of a racial name. In typical arthemis, which we might 

 point out was described from New York (probably \icinity of 

 New York City), the submarginal band on underside of secondaries 

 consists of a series of red spots, separated from the marginal green 

 lunules by a well defined black area; in this new race this sub- 

 marginal area is occupied by a continuous reddish band extending 

 completely up to the green lunules and only separated from the 

 interior white band by a narrow line of black; the basal area is 

 also largeh' suffused with reddish, making the three red spots 

 near base of wing much less distinct than in the typical form. 

 On the upper side the ground colour is a dead black and the red 

 submarginal spots of secondaries arc large and with scarcely a 

 trace of green edging on their inner side. It is this form that is 

 figured b>- Sa\- from Lake W'innijx'g, which is apparently about 

 the eastern limit of the race. 



Types — One cf , Saskatchewan (Croker) ; five cf 's, Cartwright, 

 Man.; one 9 , Calgary, Alta. (Dod) in Coll. Rarnes. 



Junonia coenia nigrosuffusa, subsp. nov. 



The smoky-black Arizona form of ca'nia has been generally 

 and wrongly listed as negra Feld., which was described from speci- 

 mens taken on the Rio Negro in Northwestern Brazil and which 

 is evidently a form of the S. American lavinia Cram., distinguished 

 by its metaHic green shaded secondaries. We propose the above 

 name for the Arizona race, which has in general the maculation of 

 typical ccenia, but the whole upper surface suffused with black- 

 brown, rendering the white subapical banding very obscure; the 

 eye spots of the secondaries are often considerabl\- reduced in size 

 as compared with those of the northern coenia. 



Types — Three cf's, Palmerlee, Ariz.; two cf's, Babaqui\era 

 Mts., Ariz.; one cf , Huachuca Mts., Ariz.; one 9 , Arizona, in Coll. 

 Barnes. 



Brenthis aphirape dawsoni, subsp. nov. 



Specimens from Hymers, Ont., show several points of difference 

 from Labrador specimens (typical iriclaris Hbn.). The upper side 

 has a deeper brown colour, with a strong suffusion of l)lack, es- 

 pecially along the outer margin, where the brown lunules are
