THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 151 



7. A. monticola^ Behr.? — My previous record of this species was 

 based on a single Banff male, and so far 1 have seen no more from 

 Alberta. I cannot find by what authority I listed it under the name, but 

 Dr. Skinner refers to the record in Supplement No. i of his Catalogue. I 

 have a similar male from Kaslo, received as 7'hodope, but differing from 

 Vancouver and Island specimens under that name in being slightly 

 smaller, paler in both ground colour and shading above, and in having 

 paler secondaries beneath, without trace of silver on any of the spots, and 

 the marginal row slightly larger. It agrees in these details with Holland's 

 figure (under side) and description of 7no?ittcoia, except in having more of 

 a rusty-red and less of a purplish shading on secondaries. I recently 

 submitted both these forms to Dr. Skinner. The coast specimens he 

 named rhodope. The Banff and Kaslo specimens he says exactly fit no 

 described form, but " are related to zerene and nionticola, var. purpur- 

 ascens.'' Under rhodope, in the Kootenai list, Dr. Dyar mentions that 

 Mr. Cockle had the species standing as ??ioniicola. 



8. A. Jialcyone, Edw., vel. platina, Skinner? — I listed the species as 

 halcyo7ie on the authority of Dr. Skinner, who had specimens from me 

 some years ago, and who entered the record in Supp. No. i of his 

 Catalogue. Of Calgary material, I have now under examination twelve 

 males and three females, and have at times distributed a few of both sexes. 

 Some of the females, which I had been unable to compare when writing 

 my former notes, to my mind fit Edwards's figure of $ to a nicety, but 

 both sexes show considerable variation. I have males almost the exact 

 counterpart of mine from Colorado, 8-10,000 ft., labelled "Gore's Range," 

 " Williams River Range," and " Pinnacle," and Dr. Skinner bears me out 

 in associating these specimens, and now says : •' They are near platina^ 

 and undescribed." Calgary females, however, are less like my females 

 from the same locality. Of what Dr. Skinner tells me is true platina, I 

 have a ^ from Beaver Canon, Idaho (one of the type localities), another 

 from Stockton, Utah, and a $ from Soldier Canon, Tooele Co... Utah. 

 This series differs from the Colorado mountain series, and, in the main, 

 from the Calgary males, in being slightly paler in all the details of colour 

 and shading, but more distinctly in having rather larger silver spots and a 

 wider buff band. An occasional Calgary male, however, is by no means 

 sharply distinct. Of the only Calgary female Dr. Skinner has seen from 

 me, he says: "Near halcyone, but markings darker and heavier." I have 

 two males, from Oslar and Glenwood Springs, Colo., which Dr. Skinner
