454 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM. vol. xxxi. 



EVERES AMYNTULA (Boisduval). 



Doctor Fletcher has recorded this species from the DeviFs Portage, 

 Liard River (longitude 126° 10'), where R. G. McConnell, of the Cana- 

 dian Geological Survey, collected it on July 17, 1888. '^ 



RUSTICUS SCUDDERI (Edwards). 



1 can find but two records of the capture of this species in the region 

 under review. A. G. Butler records three male specimens in the Brit- 

 ish Museum, which were collected by Miss Elizabeth Taylor on the 

 east bank of the Mackenzie River, 30 miles north of the Arctic Circle, 

 July 18, 1892.^ Specimens secured in the vicinity of Dunvegan, Peace 

 River, Athabaska, b}^ J. M. Macoun, in the summer of 1903, have been 

 determined by Doctor Fletcher, and are in the Canadian government 

 collections at Ottawa. 



RUSTICUS MELISSA (Edwards). 



Dr. James Fletcher, of Ottawa, informs me that there are specimens 

 of this species in the Canadian government collections under his charge, 

 collected by J. M. Macoun in the summer of 1903, near Dunvegan, 

 Athabaska. 



PAMPHILA PALiEMON (Pallas). 



I found this diminutive species only at Fort Providence. Several 

 individuals were seen among the sedges in a tamarack muskeg, and one 

 captured, Jul}^ 4, 1903. This "skipper" is very easily overlooked, 

 because of its small size. 



P. paJxvion has been taken at Banff and Lacombe, Alberta,'" and 

 has a wide range in the southern provinces. 



ERYNNIS COMMA (Linnaeus). 



Two specimens in good condition were collected on the summit of 

 Mount Tha-on'-tha, Nahanni Mountains, July 16, 1903. Not observed 

 elsewhere, nor are there previous records of its capture in the Atha- 

 baska-Mackenzie region. 



ERYNNIS COMMA var. MANITOBA Scudder. 



Francis A. Heron, of the British Museum, writes me that Miss 

 Taylor's specimens from Slave River, which Butler has recorded as 

 E. coloimdo^'^ are more properly referable to the present form. These 

 specimens, a pair, were taken at the Rapids of the Drowned, Slave 

 River, June 29 and 30, 1892.
