THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 99 



2. Euptoieta claudia. — One specimen; Lamberton Lake, in July, 1887. 



3. Argynnis idalia. — Rare. Taken at Lamberton Lake during the 

 early part of July ; is not as strong a flyer as are our other larger 

 Argynnids. 



4. Argynnis cybele. — Common. From the end of June to the middle 

 of August, frequenting, with the other species of the genus, low, wet 

 ground. 



5. Argynnis aphrodite. — Common. Flies from about the first week 

 in July to the end of August. 



6. Argynnis alcestis. — Not rare, but less common than the preceding, 

 from which it may be told in most cases, even on the wing, by its more 

 ruddy colouring. 



7. Argytinis myrina. — Common. Two broods during the season, the 

 first flying from June 10th to the middle of July, the second from the 

 early part of August through September. A worn specimen was taken in 

 1890 as late as the 8th of October. Prof. E. A. Strong, once of this 

 place, now of Ypsilanti, Mich., is of the opinion that this species was 

 formerly rather rare. 



8. Argynnis bellona. — Common. Two-brooded, appearing from May 

 10th to June 15th, and from July 1st to August 15th. 



9. Me/itcea phaeton. — Common at several localities, from which, how- 

 ever, it never strays. One damp, boggy meadow, where it was formerly 

 very abundant, has been recently drained and part of it cultivated, the 

 result being the extinction of the species at that place. Here were taken 

 all of the three specimens of the var. superb a, of the capture of which I 

 know. The species flies from the end of June to the latter part of July. 



10. Melitcea harrisii. — Rare. Taken over low meadows from the 

 middle of May to the middle of June. 



11. Phyciodes uycteis. — Sometimes quite common. Two-brooded, ap- 

 pearing in June and again in August. 



12. Phyciodes carlota. — One specimen, the date of which is lost, but 

 taken, I think, early in June ; a fresh example. 



13. Phyciodes tharos. — Common. Two broods ; the first form, mor- 

 pheus, flying from June 10th to July 15th ; the second, marcia, from the 

 early part of August into September. A worn specimen was taken 

 October 8th, 1890.
