the apex. Fringes of both wings blacker than normal. Underside of pri- 

 maries similar to upper but with the addition of a small distinct fulvous spot 

 at the base, and an obsolete line before the distal end, of the cell. There is 

 also a faint fulvous streak below vein 2 near the base. The deep cin- 

 namoneous marginal border is interrupted by a yellowish apical patch and 

 obsolete patches of the same color between veins 3 and 5. Underside of 

 secondaries with the area, which was black above, chestnut, except as follows. 

 A yellow bar along the precostal vein. A large lilacinous patch at base of 

 cellule 7-8, acuminate distad along vein 8 and terminating near the center of 

 the wing. This patch encloses near its base a round chestnut spot. A mesial 

 series of four yellow annuli, the first between veins la and i, second and third 

 between i and 2, and fourth at distal end of cell between 3 and 5, the middle 

 discocellular forming its outer edge. This, the fourth, annulus is less well 

 defined than the others and it has a horizontal lilacinous streak on its lower 

 edge extending distad to the outer edge of the chestnut area. The chestnut 

 area is also interrupted by blackish patches near the bases of cellules 2-1, 3-4, 

 and 4-5, the last being obsolete. The brown distal area is overlaid with 

 iridescent violet scales. The brown submarginal crescents and extra-mesial 

 annuli are present but more obscure than in normal individuals. Fringes of 

 both wings blacker than normal. 

 Expanse. — 43.5 mm. 



This is a black. &^^Zona, with a ftilvotis terminal band on the 

 primaries about 4 mm. wide and a siibterminal band of the same 

 color on the secondaries, about 2.5 mm. wide. 



This beautiful aberration was captured by Mr. S. Kleene, after 

 whom it is named, at West Hartford, Connecticut, May 3, 1921.

Aglais antiopa (Linne). 



A patch of eggs was found by me on the underside of a willow 

 leaf at Tappan, Rockland County, New York, Aug. 4, 1918. They 

 covered nearly the basal third of the leaf extending to the edges 

 and down to the petiole. It is somewhat unusual to find eggs of this 

 species on a leaf as they generally encircle a terminal twig. 



Poanes hobomok ab. pallida, new aberration. 



This aberration differs from typical hobomok (Harris) in having the usual 

 dark brown borders and markings of all wings, above and below, light gray 

 and the normal bright tawny areas and spots on both wings above and on 

 primaries beneath pale dull tawny. Secondaries beneath with the band and 

 subbasal spot light dull yellow. Fringes of both wings above and below 

 grayish.
