102 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



27. Neonympha eurytris. — Common. In June in open woods. 



28. Neonympha mitchelli. — July 1st, 1885, three years before the 

 species was described, I found it rather common near South Grand 

 Rapids in company with canthus, but had neither specimens nor authori- 

 ties from which to pronounce upon its newness. Have found it quite 

 common at the same locality, a bog some two acres in extent, every year 

 since, from the 1st to the 15th of July. It is readily told on the wing by 

 its dark colour, small size, and weak flight \ but owing to its fragility and 

 its habit of flitting low amongst grass and weeds, perfect specimens in 

 any number are difficult to obtain. 



29. Sityrus alope. — Formerly found here, as I learn from older 

 collectors, but disappeared several years ago. 



30. Satyrus nephele. — This form is now common in July at two or 

 three localities — low, wet meadows — and specimens are found of the var. 

 olympus and others approaching var. nephele. 



31. Libythea bachmani. — One specimen taken in August, 1883, by 

 Mr. C. S. Osborne, a local collector, and another by myself in 1887. 

 August 21, 1885, Mr. L. S. Livingston found a nearly full-grown larva of 

 this species beneath a hackberry tree at the same locality at which the 

 butterflies were captured, and at which the Apatura clyton was taken. 



32. Calephelis borealis. — Taken in July at two or three localities, but 

 only at all common in two low, wet, grassy areas near Lamberton Lake, 

 each less than an acre in extent. 



33. Thecla acadica. — Common in July, frequenting especially the 

 flowers of butterfly-weed and New Jersey tea. 



34. Thecla edwardsii. — Rather common, in company with the next, 

 late in June and early in July, on the leaves of low scrub oaks. 



35. Thecla calanus. — Quite common, and like the preceding, has a 

 curious habit when resting on a leaf of rubbing the upper surfaces of its 

 wings together, giving the tails an upward and downward motion. 



36. Thecla strigosa. — Rare. July, on the butterfly-weed and New 

 Jersey tea. 



37. Thecla niphon (?) — In my notes under the date of May 2, 1885, 

 I have this observation : " A Thecla (Niphon ? ) was seen but was unable 

 to capture it." This could have been none of the other species named, 

 and from the date and our being in a pine region, am inclined to think it 

 this species.
