THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



brown and white being interlaced in about equal proportions. If any- 

 thing, the white predominates from the outer edge of the band to base ; 

 in 2 of the 5, while the band is thus outlined, all the rest of the wing to 

 hind margin is white flecked with fine streaks or dusted. 



The 3 $ are yellow above, two of them with less white below than 

 any ot the males ; the other has the macular surface and no band. Of the 

 two, one has tlie area from base to outer side of the band evenly reticu- 

 lated brown and white, and the other is macular over the same area ; so 

 that in neither is there an inner side to the band. Wherever in both sexes 

 there is an approach to a band, it is very unlike the dark band usually 

 seen in this genus. In all the Varima, also, there are distinct white 

 points on both hind margins on under side, and I find nothing of this in 

 Uhleri. 



Mr. Morrison writes : "This Chionobas was taken in DacotahTerr., on 

 my way to Montana, in May. It was found on the plains, elevation about 

 1,200 feet, and in all about 100 specimens were taken. All the Uhleri 1 

 have taken were in mountains, never at less than 5,000 feet elevation, and 

 from that to 11,000 feet, and only in July and August." 



Mr. A. G. Butler, Cat. of Satyridaj in B. Mus. Col., 1868, gave 

 Chionobas (Oeneis) Tarpeia, Esper., Eu. Schmett, pi. 83, as belonging 

 to Arctic America. It has occurred to me that the form I call Varuna 

 might be that which Mr. Butler h^d in view. Esper's figure represents a 

 species shaped, colored above, and ocellated after the manner of Uhle^-i, 

 but I should not take the under side to be that of any of the American 

 forms. But the figures are too coarsely done to enable small differences 

 to be distinguished. The butterfly Tarpeia I have not seen. 



AnCVLOXYPHA LENA. 



Male. — Expands i.i inch. 



Upper side dark brown, glossy ; primaries have three small white 

 spots, with traces of a fourth, in an oblique bar from costa, at four fifths 

 the distance from base to apex ; a small spot in cell near outer end ; and 

 three minute spots in median and submedian interspaces, two being in the 

 latter, these about three fifths the distance from base to hind margin. 

 Secondaries immaculate. Fringes concolored. 



Under side of primaries dark brown, grayish at base and over apical 

 area, more particularly when seen obliquely. Secondaries gray-brown, 

 caused by a uniform sprinkling of whitish scales over the brown surface j
