The description of this species in Proceedings for ISGG, with annex- 

 ed figures, is of the male instead of the female, as there stated. 



The female is much like the male, but is lighter colored ; the mar- 

 ginal band is broader and not so distinctly defined within; the base of 

 primaries is also more blackish. 



This fine species is hitherto rare. A few specimens of both sexes 

 have been taken on the Kanawha this year (18G7), in July, and occa- 

 sionally 1 have received it from Michigan.

This species is not uncommon on the Kanawha in the months of 

 May and June, and is to be met in paths in the woods, in company 

 with Javenalis and Brizo. 

 II. RURKA, Edw. = Metaeomet Harris. 



At the time 1 described this species in Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci., I'liil., 

 18(5 , I had not seen the description o^ Metaeomet, soon after publish- 

 ed in the sca-ond edition of Harris' Insects. His name will of course 

 havu the piiority. The sj>ecies is wide spread, nowhere common, so far 

 as known. 1 have taken it on the Kanawha, and received it from Illinois.
