fail to readily separate these two species. Pamphila scudderi 

 was described in ENT. NEWS, Vol. x, p. in, and was taken 

 along the White River in Colorado, between July 24th and Aug. 

 i3th, by Dr. S. H. Scudder, who has a good series of the species. 



Pamphila be/Ins was described by Mr. W. H. Edwards in 1884, 

 and has been very rare in collections. During the past Sum- 

 mer it was taken in abundance in the Huachuca Mts., Cochise 

 Co. , Arizona. It is a rather handsome and interesting species. 



Pan/p/ii/a panoquin is found in great abundance along the 

 Jersey coast in Cape May County, where the members of the 

 Feldinan Social succeed in getting nice specimens annually. 



Pamphila panoquinoides is smaller and darker than panoquin 

 and lacks the spots on the fore wings. Below it resembles 

 panoquin in the character of the maculation. Pamp/ii/a stigma 

 is a very distinct species. It is found in Texas and New Mexico 

 and probably also in Central and South America. Pamphila 

 pittacus has only been found in Arizona, as far as I am aware. 

 Pamp/ii/a nemorum has a very characteristic stigma and im- 

 maculate secondaries beneath. It is common in the Yosemite 

 Valley in California. 



Pamphila rhesus is a very handsome Colorado species and is 

 not uncommon. 



Pamphila massasoit suffusa is readily known by the oblitera- 

 tion of the yellow in the secondaries below. The types came 

 from Westville, New Jersey. 



Pampliila draco is a very distinct butterfly but is often in- 

 correctly named. The country was flooded with this species 

 sent from Colorado under the name of man itoba some years ago. 

 P. loainmi is a rather rare and fine Florida species. I have 

 also had it from Wilmington, N. C. The figure of P. alcina 

 represents the type of the male. When more material is at 

 hand and proper comparisons made it is not unlikely that this 

 may prove a synomyn of rhcna Edwards. sKgialc stirckcri is 

 a very fine insect and has been found in Colorado, Texas and 

 Arizona. Mr. E. J. Oslar during last Summer found them in 

 numbers in S. W. Colorado, and has given an interesting ac- 

 count of their habits in a paper to appear in the NKWS. The 

 yellow spots 011 the female are about twice the size of those on 

 the fore wings on the male. The female is also several shades
