There is no valid name available for this form, which was erroneonsly figured 

 by Boisduval and Leconte as the true marcel/us of Cramer. We do not know what 

 uomenclatorial considerations induced W. H. Edwards to rename the early spring 

 form as walshi, sinking marcellus Cram, as a synonym of iralsJn, and to employ 

 marcellus Boisd. & Lee. (1834 ; 7ion Cramer, 1779) for the summer form. Scudder 

 correctly referred to the early spring form as marcellus Cram. 



(??. Black bands of body and wings broader than in the spring forms; 

 hindwing usually with distinct pale band along abdominal fold, second red sjjot 

 of upperside much reduced, in male very often, in female always, absent. 



Name-type of lecontei from Nashville. 



Hah. P. marcellus occurs from Florida and Texas to southern Canada, west- 

 wards extending to the Mississippi plains ; in the northern districts it is more a 

 visitor than a resident. 



One specimen found on Vancouver Island ; chrysalis imported (?). 



In the Tring Museum 120-odd specimens, and several larvae and pupae from : 

 Nashville, Tennessee (W. Osbnru) ; Jetferson Co., Kentucky (C. Troxler) ; Nelson Co.,
