156 THE CA.NAD1AN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



33. LijJienitis arthemis, Dm. — Fairly common on the Red Deer 

 River bottoms wherever there are willows. 



34. Ccenony?npha typhon, Rett., var. laidon, Bork. — This, according 

 to Dr. Skinner's Revision of the genus, is the correct name for the species, 

 inornata hQxng placed as a synonym. My tentative reference to ochracea 

 proves erroneous. I have at present thirty-six males and fifteen females 

 in my series, and have examined a large number more without being able 

 to make two species. Many of the males that' I have from the prairie 

 round Gleichen are somewhat heavily suffused with fuscous, both above 

 and beneath, and yet I have a paler male from there than any in my 

 south-west of Calgary series. One of the Gleichen specimens lacks all trace 

 of the pale bands beneath. Only one very small male (24 mm.) lacks 

 ocelli. Nearly all others have ocellus on primaries above, usually very 

 faint, rarely black pupilled. The corresponding black, pale-ringed ocellus 

 beneath is usually pale pupilled, rarely obsolete. The secondaries beneath 

 are often without ocelli, or there may be one or two small ones, and rarely 

 traces of even four or five. None have the sub-basal ochreous patches 

 which seem to be characteristic of ochracea. The females are paler than 

 the males. 



35. Erebia discoidalis, Kirby, has been seen as early as April i8th, 

 1902. , 



36. E. disa, Thunb., var. majiciniiSy Doubl.Hew. — After a long hunt 

 for it, with sundry chases after epipsodea, Mrs. Nicholl and I caught six fine 

 specimens of this butterfly in a lightly fir-timbered swamp near the foot of 

 the north end of Sulphur Mountain, Banff, scarcely ten minutes' walk from 

 the Sanitarium, on July ist last. We saw more than double that number, 

 but they escaped by disappearing into thicker timber. It appeared to be 

 very local, and not at all common. I think Mrs. Nicholl took a female. 

 She subsequently met with it far north of Laggan. She writes : " I got 

 none on the Piperstone Creek, which I think is too dry for the species. 

 But on the Saskatchewan, in one place, I saw several, and caught two, 

 both in bad order." That would be about the end of July. 



38. Satyrus alope. Fab., var. nephele, Kirby. Most of the speci- 

 mens fit Holland's figures of olympus better than any of the other 

 forms. Specimens from Chicago received under this name match them 

 pretty closely, but are slightly darker beneath, and have more ocelli on 

 secondaries.
