NOTES ON SOME ALBERTA BUTTERFLIES. 



BY F. H. WOLLEY DOD, CALGARY, ALBERTA. 



Chionobas. — To hear of the occurrence of Chionobas Macounii in 

 the hill-prairie district south of Calgary* will doubtless be as much of a 

 surprise to most entomologists as the discovery of it here has been to 

 myself. That a man who, like myself, is ever on the outlook for anything 

 fresh in the way of butterflies, should have lived for five years in a 

 Macounii locality without knowing it surpasses my comprehension. Whilst 

 overhauling, relaxing, and setting last winter from the captures of the past 

 two seasons, I came across, amongst some papered specimens that had 

 been handed to me by a Mr. Hudson, an ardent collector here, a papered 

 butterfly labelled " Chionobas Chryxtis, % , July 4th, 1896,"' taken amongst 

 the spruce about twelve miles west of here ; that is to say, about 26 miles 

 to the south-west of Calgary. Now, though I have never yet seen 

 Chryxus here, I have always been expecting to come across it amongst 

 the spruce, and was not much surprised. However, after relaxing and 

 setting the specimen, lo and behold ! it was not Chryxus., but agreed 

 rather closely with some C. californica ^ ^ that I have from Ft. 

 Klamoth, Oregon. Having learnt from Mr. Elvves's "Revision of 

 (.Eneis " that a supposed Macounii % had been taken by Prof. Macoun 



* .K fine male of this species taken at Red Deer, N.-VV. T., by Mr. T. N. Willint;, 

 of Olds, Alta., was shown at ilie annual meeting of tlie Entomological Society of 

 Ontario in 1805,
