spots of forewing make a continuous band, and are broader than in 

 Ethela, and beneath hind wing the spots are red instead of yellow. 



Probably Ethela is a dweller in Colorado also, as the late Mr. W. S. 

 Foster told of a small Erebia, distinct from Epipsodea and Callias, which 

 he had seen an example of in Marshall Pass, and which had red spots on 

 the wings. 



At the request of Prof. Owen, I name this species in memory of his 

 daughter, Miss Ethel, who assisted him in the capture of these Erebias, 

 and whom he has since unhappily lost 



Professor Owen also took the female of E. Haydenii^ not before 

 observed. It is in all respects like the male. 



After the translation of Sandberg's paper was sent to the Can. Ent. 

 (see XXIII., 1 6, Jan., 1891), I received from Dr. Staudinger a letter 

 saying that he was satisfied his determination of the Colorado form of 

 Chionobas, in 1886, as identical with Lapland Bore was wrong. That 

 he had recently received six perfect examples of this Colorado form, and 

 a very large number of true Bore from Norway and Lapland. " I see 

 that this species, even in one locaUty, offers much variation. With one 

 or two exceptions, all have on the under side of the secondaries the 

 veins white like Taygete Hiibn., from Labrador. Some are hardly to be 

 distinguished from them, and, therefore, I believe Taygete of Labrador a 

 local form of Bore Hiibn. 



" Crambis Freyer is described from Labrador specimens, and these 

 also show much variation, and I have some which come so near to some 

 q{ Bore that they are difficult to separate. 



" Now as to the Colorado specimens : some varieties of the European 

 Bore, without white veins on under side of secondaries, come so near to 

 these (of Colorado) that from one specimen only (as in 1886) I could 

 suppose this to be Bore. But as I now have six before me, and no one 

 has the white veins like Bore, or only very Uttle white, as sometimes is 

 the case also with Crambis, of Labrador, I can only believe this a grayish 

 (instead of brownish) form of Crambis Freyer. Also, except in the 

 colour, the underside of the primaries of this Colorado form agrees 

 perfectly with the true Crambis" In another letter he says : " I would 

 counsel you to name this, perhaps, Crambis, var. griseojis or otherwise." 



I have four Crambis from Labrador, 2 ^ , 2 %, sent me by the late 

 H. B. Moschler, as Crambis Freyer. All are dark brown, of thick
