THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 383 



black, and remainder of the antennae red-brown, W. H. Edwards, in his 

 description of ai/gusia, says, as follows : '• belongs to chahedon gro.up, but 

 is a^^ conspicuously red as the species of chalcedon is black." Dr. Behr 

 says practically the same thing of his Qnino ; a comparative description 

 like that of Dr. Behr is, to me, of mucli more use than one that attempts 

 to describe all the complicated markings of these insects. 



The synonymy, etc., stands thus : 



Lemonias Quino (Behr), Scudder. Proc. Cal. Acad, of .Sci., Ill, 

 p. 90, 1S63. 



Melitcen augusta (Edwards), Can. Ent., XXII, 21, 1890. 



Melitcea augiista (Wright), Butt, of the West Coast, p. 153, pi. XIX, 

 1905. 



Meliiica aiigustina (\Vright), loc. cit., p. 154. (This is only an 

 individual variation.) 



Melitcea angusia (Holland). Butterfly Book, jx 141, pi. XVI, 1899 

 (a veiy lightly marked specimen). 



Type locality : San Diego, California. 



Distribution : Lower Sonoran Zone of the San Diegan Faunal 

 District. 



Food plant : Plantago patagonica (Mrs. Brandegee). 



Lemonias Quino is, so far as known, limited to the southern half of 

 the San Diegan Faunal District, and extends into Upper Sonoran. 

 Lemonias anicia is an U|)per Transition species, while Lemonias chalcedon 

 extends from Lower Sonoran to Lower Transition. 



Acknowledgment. — The Curator, on belialf of the Entomological 

 Society of Ontario, desires to offer its very grateful thanks to Mr. F. H. 

 WoLLEv DoD, of Millarville, Alberta, for his handsome gift of over two 



hundred specimens of Lepidoptera. These are for the most part North- 

 western s|)ecies that were unrepresented in the Society's collection, and 

 are therefore very welcome and useful accessions. 



Also to Mr. Charle.s R. Elv, of Washington, D. C., for a generous 

 gift of fifty specimens of Lepidoptera from Connecticut, which are of much 

 value in filling gaps in the Society's cabinets.
