are not so heavy as in Leto ; the apical region is clearer, the three or 

 four brown spots so conspicuous in Leto being here wanting or but faintly 

 indicated. The outer belt on the secondaries presents the same clean-cut 

 character as in the male, owing to the absence of the brown shadings to 

 its inner and outer sides. 



Types. — I c; and 2 $ s in my collection, from Glenwood Springs, 

 Colo. 



This species stands intermediate between Leto and Cybele. The 

 locality has been thoroughly worked for several years and no typical Leto 

 taken there. I have Leto from Utah, California, Nevada, Oregon, Idaho, 

 Montana, and British Columbia, and they are uniform in their points of 

 difference from the form here described. 

 Melitcea GiHettli, n. sp. 



(J expands i }4 inches ; head and thorax black ; abdomen black 

 above, beneath yellowish - white ; palpi and legs dark red ; antennae 

 fuscous ; club yellow ; wings, ground colour black, markings dull red and 

 white, veins black. Primaries above show a wide margin of the ground 

 colour, in which are two rows of spots ; the margin red, very faint, 

 scarcely discernible except towards apex ; the second row is white, 

 small and not very prominent; the third row is red, the spots are large, 

 quadrate and completely fill the intercellular spaces, thus giving the 

 appearance of a broad red band cut by the black veins ; the fourth row 

 is rather irregular, white and joined opposite the cell by a demi-row from 

 costa ; two red and two white spots in cell ; two white spots and one 

 red in subcellular space-; basal area rather obscured with black. 



Secondaries above have the four outer rows as on primaries, the 

 marginal red row even fainter, two red and one white spot in cell and a 

 white subcellular spot. The under surface shows but little of the black 

 ground colour, it being reduced to the veins and lines between the rows of 

 spots, which are all rather quadrate in shape, filling the intercellular 

 spaces, thus giving a well-marked, banded appearance. The marginal 

 band is red and is followed by the white, red, and white bands as on 

 upper surface. The cellular and subcellular spots on primaries same as 

 above, only larger and more distinct. On basal area of secondaries there 

 are four white spots, separated by an irregular shaped red area, the result 

 of a fusion of the red spots.
