124 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Mr. L. E. Marmont finds the species not uncommon at Rounthwaite, 

 Man., and Mr. Norman Criddle takes it also at Aweme, Man. Dr. Win. 

 Barnes writes me that he has specimens from near MinneapoHs, Minn. 



Described from 12 specimens (6 males and 6 females). The types 

 of both sexes, which are figured, are deposited in the U. S. National 

 Museum at Washington. The species is named after Mr. A. W. Hanham, 

 an enthusiastic and indefatigable collector, who has done so much towards 

 working up the insect fauna of Manitoba and British Columbia. 



Thecla strigosa, Harr., var. liparops, n. var. (The Bright-eyed Hair- 

 streak.) 

 In the Canadian Entomologist for November, 1895, p. 315, I 



referred to the Manitoban form of Thecla strigosa, and expressed the 

 opinion that this form was worthy of at least varietal recognition. This, 

 as far as I have seen, always shows the large, rich fulvous, well-defined 

 blotches which are represented on the plate herewith. The ordinary 

 form of T. strigosa is shown in the accompanying wood-cut. (Fig. 5.) 



I have examined during the last fifteen years a great many specimens 

 of this variety from Manitoba, and all without exception showed the two 

 large fulvous eye-like spots on the primaries. Mr. E. F. Heath, who 

 formerly took the insect in numbers at Cartwright, Man., writes : " 1 

 have never taken this form without the fulvous patch on the primaries in 

 both sexes, and I have certainly taken and seen over one hundred 

 specimens. Four or five years ago, and for years prior to that, it was very 

 abundant here ; now it seems to have disappeared. I do not come across 

 one in a season." 



Mr. L. E. Marmont, of Rounthwaite, Man., who has lived and 

 collected in Manitoba for many years, writes : " I have only 9 specimens 



of your variety liparops of strigosa just now ; but 

 all have the large fulvous blotch on the fore wings. 

 In one female it is fainter than the others, but 

 quite noticeable ; in another female the primaries 

 are almost entirely fulvous with only a blackish 

 border." 



Occasional specimens of the eastern T. strigosa 

 show a more or less poorly-defined fulvous blotch 

 on the upper side of primaries, but such specimens 

 in my experience have proved to be of decidedly
