242 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Pamphila ottoe, Edw.— June 30th (a ? ), July ist (a ? and a c^ ). The 

 male was lying with its wings expanded (as if at rest) on a flower 

 head in a clearing ; it was dead, however, but a fair specimen. 

 Kindly identified by Dr. Hy. Skinner. 



Amblyscirtesvialis, Edw. — One. June 30th. 



Owing to a visit to England in the spring, I did no collecting here 

 until nearly the end of June, consequently many of the early-occurring 

 species were missed. On the 23rd June very few species were flying. 

 " Blues " were plentiful ; ScBpiolus especially so, mostly $ . Other 

 species were: Melissa (only males), Afra {i), Lticia (i). "Skippers," 

 only a Cernes and a worn Pylades. Danais archippiis and Ccenonympha 

 ifiorfiata complete the list. 



From that date until the end of the season many visits were paid to 

 the different favourite localities around the city, but "things," almost 

 without exception, were scarce, and many of the species taken in 1894 

 were not met with. Not a single Thecla or Papilio was seen on the 

 wing. 

 Phyciodes tharos, Dru. — Pupae of this species were found on July 4th 



and 14th, attached to the palings of my back yard. 

 Pyrameis cardui, I>inn., was very noticeable on the wing, in and around 



the city, at the end of June and early in July, and later the webs 

 .of its larva3 were thick among the thistle heads everywhere. 



Very few of these, I think, reached the " imago " state. 

 Cxnonympha inornata, Edw. — Specimens of this butterfly taken June 



23rd were mostly worn, but the species was met with as late 



as July loth. 

 Lyccena melissa, Edw.— Captured or seen June 23rd, July 23rd, August 



24th and 25th, and September 2nd. On August 25th I took 



my first and only 5 . 

 Thy/neliais garita, Reak.— This species occurred in some abundance 



locally from June 30th to July 13th, but most of the specimens 



netted were poor. 

 Pamphila maniioba, Scud.— According to Dr. Skinner, my Winnipeg 



specimens are the var. Assitiiboia, Lyman. I captured one 



this season (August 4th), and have yet to take my first ? here. 



Mailed .September 9th.
