82 THE CAXA)DIAN ENTOMOLOGIST 



both sexes before me, captured July 7-18, it is evident that Scudder's diagnosis 

 was based entirely on specimens of the female sex, and rather worn specimens 

 at that. This accounts for his statement that the "secondaries of the male 

 frigida are shaped as in the $ of oleracca' and that "the black scales above at 

 the base of both wings are more profuse and widely spread." Borcalis Grt. 

 based on S specimens will sink as a synonym. 



The underside of secondaries varies in color from quite pale to strik- 

 ingly bright yellow (especially marked in 9 's) and in all cases the veins are very 

 heavily outlined in black. On the upper side the $ 's are pure white with 

 the veins in the apical area marked with black ; the 9 's have at times a marked 

 yellow tinge, are heavily sprinkled with smoky scales on primaries at base of 

 wing and along inner margin and in well marked specimens show traces of 

 the two subterminal spots ; the veins are more sufYused with black than in 

 the S sex. Frigida Scud, will represent the race from Labrador, Newfound- 

 land and adjacent areas in Quebec with the partial summer generation acadica 

 Edw. in Southern Newfoundland. The figures given in the "Contributions" 

 (1. c. PI. VII, figs. 1, 2) represent well-marked specimens of this race. 

 Burynms pclidne lahradorensis Scud. 



The species was represented by a long series of rather indifferent 

 specimens. I have treated of it in "Contributions III, 67, PI. VII, figs. 6-8." 

 Greenland and Iceland specimens must be examined before it can be determined 

 whether the racial name is valid or should be sunk as a synonym. 

 Biirymus nastes Bdv. 



Two specimens, Nain. 



Nympiialidae. 

 Brenthis aphirape triclaris Hbn. 

 Brenthis chariclca boisduvali Dup. 



Both the above well-known Labrador forms were represented by good 

 series, 

 Brenthis freija Thun. 



A single worn specimen, taken July 26th. 

 Brenthis polar is Bdv. 



One $ captured August 5th. 



Satyridae. 

 Oencis jntta Hbn. 



A worn $ , captured on August 2nd at Hopedale ; another $ from 

 Nain. 

 Oeneis taygete Hbn. 



Several good specimens of both sexes captured between July 25th and 

 August 23rd. 

 Oeneis oeno Bdv. 



A small series of both sexes was present. 



My idea of this species was given in "Contributions IV, 68" and I still 

 adhere to this opinion. Besides the Labrador specimens several from the 

 north shore of the Gulf of St. Lawrence are before me, captured by C. H. 

 Young at Rocky Bay ; these cannot be separated from the Labrador specimens
