pale black, more narrowly than in P. Troglodyta ; preceding this is a 

 band, sometimes of a paler red than the ground, sometimes of same shade, 

 and only imperfectly indicated by the brown indistinctly defined line which 

 limits its basal side : this band is shaped much as in Troglodyta, but comes 

 considerably nearer to hind margin, thereby restricting the width of the 

 dark border, and also of the dark apical area, and is less incurved on the 

 median interspaces \ on the arc of cell a narrow black crescent ; on 

 the outer half of secondaries is an obscure continuation of this band, 

 which passes imperceptibly into the ground color ; the yellow points are 

 continued across both wings. Under side same shade as in the male, the 

 basal and discal areas on primaries darker than the marginal. 



From one male, from Western Texas, in the collection of Mr. B. Neu- 

 moegen, and 3 females, taken by Mr. Morrison, on Mt. Graham, Arizona. 

 The male is brighter red than Troglodyta Fab. {Giy cerium Edw.. not 

 Doubleday, Aiidria Scud.); the wings of purer color, with scarcely any 

 black margins. In the example under view, the discal spot is brown and 

 obscure, instead of black. The female has a marginal border not half the 

 width of that of Troglodyta, and the obscure band, not always paler than 

 or differing from the ground, follows more closely the margin. 

 Both sexes have yellow dots in the interspaces near the margins on hind 

 wings, and the female on fore \\'ings also. The under side is gray-white, 

 instead of a greasy gray-brown, and there is almost an entire absence 

 of markings. I sent one of these females to Mr. A. G. Butler, together 

 with one of the Illinois and Western species. Mr. Butler replied that there 

 was nothing in the Museum collection like this Arizona example, nor did 

 he know of anything of the kind having been described. I name it for 

 Mr. Morrison, whose arduous labors have so greatly enriched the 

 American collections. 



With regard to the Illinois species, Mr. Butler ])ronounces it Troglo- 

 dyta Fab., a conclusion to which 1 had myself come, after an e.xamination 

 of Cramer's figure of Astinax, last fall in Philadeli>hia, at the Academy. 

 It seemed to me that the figures of Cramer were unmistakable. The 

 synonymy of the species then is :
