E. meskei Edwards. 



From Indian River, Florida (Neumoegen collection, Brooklyn 



Museum). 



E. licinus Edwards. 



I have a single specimen from Texas which Dr. Skinner has de- 

 termined. 



E. cabelus Edwards. 



Unknown to me. Described as near ottoe, but with pale spots on 

 the hind wings below, lacking, however, in one specimen. Nevada. 



E. ruricola Boisduval. 



Described from California. I do not know this species. Bois- 

 duval's description as supplemented by Edwards makes the species 

 fall near cabelus. Mr. Schaus, however, identifies as ruricola a speci- 

 men of comma in which the white spots are very small and nearly 

 obsolete. 



E. ottoe Edwards. 



I have seen two males and two females in the Strecker collection 

 from Utah. The marginal band is nearly obsolete, yet serves to de- 

 fine the pale spots. 



E. yuma Edwards. 



Unknown to me and perhaps in the wrong genus. From the de- 

 scription it must be a very distinct form. Arizona. 



E. axius Plotz. 



This is added by Mabille. I do not know it. 



Genus OCHLODES Scudder.
