It affords me great pleasure to name this fine species after my good 

 friend, J. T. Mason, Esq., of Denver, Colorado, whose discovery of E. 

 imperialis, var. nobilis was not recognized by Mr. Neumoegeii when 

 describing it. I may here mention that I captured in April at Orizaba 

 a fine Z o{ Eacles (9/v«t^«^<?/Schs., which was originally described from a 

 9 specimen. The two sexes scarcely differ.
