thorny bushes which form most of the vegetation in that delightful 

 country. The rough, rocky nature of the land and the abundance 

 of rattle snakes add additional charms to collecting-. Rubricata is 

 also found there, but is not so common as iu Texas. 



C&no'uymplia hay den ft Edw. Is very common in Haydeii Val- 

 ley, Yellowstone Park, and adjacent parts of Idaho. It flies out 

 upon the open grassy plains and is very easy to capture. Along in 

 the middle of July one can easily take a couple of hundred specimens 

 in a day. 



Erebia disco idalls Ivirby. Skinner puts the habitat of this species 

 as Boreal America, but it is common at least as tar south as Calgary 

 Alberta. 



Erebia sofia Str. This species must be very local in its habits. It 

 is found in Yellowstone Park, on the north side of the low hills 

 where the grass and herbage is rank and green, and where the trees 

 are few T and so scattered as to permit the sun to shine in in broad 

 patches. Its flight is regular and slow, and it does not wander far 

 from home. When they are frightened they fly mly a few feet and 

 then drop down among the rank grass and crawl into the tangled 

 herbage, where they remain motionless. It is very difficult, indeed, 

 to find them aud almost impossible to make them fly up again. The 

 beautiful bright yellow spots change to a dirty yellowish white 

 after death. They are not at all rare in Yellowstone Park about the 

 middle of July, if one knows exactly where to look for them. 



Gyrocheilus tritonia Edw. This species is found quite plentifully 

 at an elevation from 4,000 to 6,000 feet in the mountains of South- 

 ern Arizona. It flies in the same sort of country as henshatri, and 

 its capture is attended with the same difficulties. 



Epinephele wicaque Reak. This beautiful Satyrid is not at all 

 rare in the Huachuca Mountains of Southern Arizona, and adds a 

 new genus as well as species to our list. 



Satynis paulus Edw. Is quite common in Colorado, both around 

 Denver and Glenwood Springs. 



Satyrus cttus Bd. Idaho and Wyoming may be given as addi- 

 tional localities for this species. 



Thecla crysalus Var. Citima H. Edw. Is common around Glen- 

 wood Springs, Colorado. 



Thecla spinetornm Bd. Several specimens taken the past sum- 

 mer iu the Huachuca Mountains, Southern Arizona, show a much 

 greater range for Hiis species than hitherto suspected. 



Thecla leda Edw. Is quite common around Mesquite iu May, in 

 Southern Arizona. 



Thecla apama Edw. Is very common in May and June iu the 

 mountains of Southern Arizona. 



Thecla ajfiitis Edw. I have only received this species from Utah, 

 though specimens of Dumetorum from Colorado are oflen taken 

 with only the slightest trace of the white spots.
