106 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST 



deeper, reddish ; mottled as in the male : in all the specimens under view 

 the spots are well silvered. 



From 87 males and 6 females taken by Professor Edward T. 

 Owen on Mt. Shasta, elevation 7,500 feet. These specimens have all been 

 viewed by me. The upper side of the female is very close to A. Behrensii 

 in colour and in weight of the black markings. In the male of that 

 species the markings are much lighter than in the present one. On the 

 under side both sexes of Behrensii have the ground of hindwings solid 

 ferruginous, not mottled as in Oweni. 

 2. Argynnis Cornelia, n. sp. 



Male. — Expands 2.3 inches. 



Upper side dark brown from base to the common mesial band, 

 excluding the upper outer part of the cell of primaries, the space beyond 

 the band light red-fulvous ; the black markings rather delicate ; the 

 margins edged by two parallel fine lines. Under side of primaries 

 cinnamon-brown (or sometimes a little reddish), from base to hind margin 

 on inner half of the wing ; the interspaces towards apex yellowish ; the 

 subapical patch red-brown, enclosing a small silver spot ; the hind margin 

 red-brown, the five silver spots small. 



Secondaries almost solid red-brown from base to the clear yellow- 

 buff belt, broken only by a few short streaks of buff on the disk ; the 

 spots all small, well silvered ; those of the marginal row subtriangular, 

 edged heavily on the basal side by red-brown ; those of the second row 

 mostly narrow sub-oval, very lightly edged at top with black, as are the 

 spots of the third row ; two small spots next base, and one in the cell. 



Female. — Expands 2.5 inches. 



Less bright red, the markings heavier ; the submarginal spots on 

 primaries pale yellowish fulvous ; the marginal lines on same wings 

 confluent on upper half. Under side of primaries red over inner half; 

 secondaries as in the male, the ground less red, more brown : all the 

 spots well silvered. 



This species flies with Electa and Hesperis, at Ouray and Manitou, 

 Colorado, and in the adjacent districts, where it has been taken abund- 

 antly by Prof Owen. Mr. Bruce has taken it also at Crested Butte in the 

 Ouray region. It is of same size as Electa, and resembles Cybele, 

 especially the form Carpenterii, much as Electa resembles Atlantis, the 

 basal area contrasting strongly in hue with the area beyond, as in Cybele.
