NOTES ON CHRYSOPHANUS HYPOPHL^AS AND ITS ALLIES, 

 WITH DESCRIPTION OF A NEW SPECIES. 



BY F. H. WOLLEY DOD, MILLARVILLE, ALBERTA. 



Chrysophaiius arethusa, n. sp. — Antennte black and white-ringed, 

 clubs black above, white, black-tipped beneath. Palpi brown above 

 whitish at sides and beneath. Eyes ringed with white. Head and thorax 

 dark brown. Abdomen dark brown above, whitish or cinereous beneath. 



J. — Primaries sharply acute at the apices, the outer margin almost 



straight. Dark smoky-brown, with a handsome bronze lustre, overlaying 



and sometimes almost completely obscuring , a shining fulvous ground, 



which is most evident in the cell and outer central portion of the wing. In 



only one out of five specimens is there a well-defined brown outer marginal 



border. A large rectangular black discal spot on the cross vein at end of 



cell, a smaller one in the centre of cell, and sometimes a third, smaller 



and ill-defined, near the base. A transverse row of six interspaceal black 

 spots beyond the cell, varying much in size and distinctness ; the upper 

 three, the next two, and the sixth (geminate) in sets obliquely towards 

 anal angle. Secondaries dull fuscous-brown, with a broad fulvous marginal 

 band from anal angle to about two-thirds of the way to apex. A narrow 

 black discal spot, and sometimes a black point in cell. An indistinct 

 transverse row of small black spots just beyond the cell, another of larger 

 spots on the inner edge of the fulvous band, and between these rows is 

 sometimes a series of from two to five irregular metallic blue points. A 

 marginal row of five black spots within the band. Fringes pale fuscous. 

 Beneath, primaries pale yellowish-fulvous, apices and inner and outer 

 margins cinereous. The spots of the upper side reproduced, but more 

 clearly defined, and most of them pale-ringed, and a small sub-basal one in 

 cell present in all the speci;nens. A transverse submarginal row of 

 irregular blackish blotches in lower half of wing. Secondaries cinereous, 

 with sometimes a faint line or discal mark, and sub-basal, intermedial and 

 postmedial transverse rows of minute brown or blackish points, rarely all 

 distinct, and in most specimens partially obsolete. Sometimes some small 

 paler dashes exterior to the outer row. A very faint orange-red, crenate 

 submarginal line, narrow, sometimes edged anteriorly with ochreous. 

 Fringes almost concolorous. 



^ . — Primaries with apices less acute, and outer margin more convex
