No. 2. Argynnis Coronis, Behr in lit. 



" Very similar to Calippe^ but diiFers by the upper side being colored 

 in the usual way of the genus, and not showing the pale lunuloe and 

 spots of the disk like Calippe, which resembles, in this respect, more 

 an Euptoieta than a true Argynnis. The lunulte (below) are not tri- 

 angular, nor are the silver spots of the intermediate fascia egg-shaped, 

 as in Callppe ; all the spots, with the costa and abdominal margin, sil- 

 vered. This species is not very common." 



No. 3. Argynnis Leto, Behr. 



" Wings of the male fulvous, fuscous at base ; marked as in allied 

 species ; beneath, secondaries from the base to the middle of the wing, 

 of a cinnamon color ; the marginal lunules silvered ; the intermediate 

 fascia consisting of seven spots, and five towards the base, all silvered. 

 This species is peculiar to the Western slope. The upper side of the 

 male is like that of Cyhele female, but the female has the wings black, 

 with a band of white spots in the middle and of orange spots near the 

 margin, as in Idalia male." 



No. 4. Argynnis Astarte, Doubleday. 

 Eghiis, Boisduval in lit. 

 This species Dr. Behr subsequently called Montivaga^ a name which 

 he transfers to the followina; :

No. 5. Argynnis Montivaga, Behr. 



"Resembles Astarte: the marginal spots silvered, the others dull 

 white, more or less yellowish ; marginal spots lunular ; of the interme- 

 diate fascia oval; all edged with black on the radical side. This spe- 

 cies is always found in mountainous regions, as is No. 4. It is more 

 common than that species, and easily recognized by the black border- 

 ing of the spots of the intermediate fascia," (which is either wanting 

 or very slight in Astarte) "their oval, not quadrangular shape, and the 

 rounded form of the marginal spots." 



No. 6. Argynnis rupestris, Behr. 



" Coloration of the upper side orange brown ; markings as usual ; 

 underside similar to Ca/ippe, but much darker, and the maculse, where 

 they have no silver, dark yellow ; the saturated solution of the radical 

 half of secondaries extended beyond the middle ftvscia."
