and Dr. Behr's name was therefore not a synonym, but became the right- 

 ful species name of No. 4, as he originally imposed it. Mr. Strecker, 

 Catalogue, page 114, has recently re-named this species Arge i which of 

 course becomes a synonym. For several years, and until Mr. Mead's 

 specimens came to view, I had lost sight of Behr's No. 4, and any 

 examples of it in my collection must have long since disappeared. To 

 this unsuspected loss may be attributed the errors upon this sub-group of 

 species contained in my Catalogue of 1877. I therein gave 



123. Eurynome, Edw., syn. Astarte, Edw., not Doubl. 



124. Montivaga, Behr, syn. Egleis Bois. 



125. Mormonia, Bois. 



126. Irene, Bois. I believe Irene to be a good species, but it 

 belongs to a distinct-sub-group from Montivaga and Egleis, near to Calippe 

 Bois., through Liliana H. Edw., it appears to me. I have Dr. Boisduval's 

 type specimen of it. It is size of Egleis, deep red above ; below the 

 spots of hind wings are one-half larger than of Egleis, those of second 

 row subquadrangular and buff colored, on red-brown ground ; and the 

 belt between the two outer rows of spots is narrower than in Egleis. 

 Neither Mr. Mead nor Mr. Morrison found it in Nevada. The series 

 of species should therefore run thus :

The No. 5 of Behr is Egleis Bois., of which Mormonia is the female, 

 as the type specimens show. Egleis is larger than Montivaga, which last 

 is the smallest of this sub-group found in Nevada and California. It is 

 deeper fulvous above and on the under side very variable, both in the 

 coloration of the ground of secondaries, which varies from buff to yellow, 

 more or less mottled over basal and discal areas with dull ferruginous- 

 brown, lighter or darker. The spots are well silvered, or very slightly, or
