bears the label "Nevada", was taken in the hills around Virginia City, 

 Nevada in 1868 or 1869 and could very well have been one of the type 

 lot from which the description in 1871 was made; comparing it with 

 the description it agreed excellently in every particular except that the 

 fulvous suffusion on underside of primaries on the two submarginal 

 spots above the anal angle was not present and this, judging from our 

 series of some of the other forms, is a variable feature; we would note 

 that the fulvous spots on upperside of secondaries are present, also 

 the broad submarginal fulvous band on underside with a median row 

 of heavy spots as on primaries as mentioned in the original description, 

 and finally that it is distinctly allied to L. battoides Behr as stated by 

 W. H. Edwards. 



As regards the 9 specimen in the collection under this name it 

 is probable that it was captured at a much later date than 1871 as it 

 bears a label "7116" and this number is included in a supplementary 

 catalogue which we believe only contained the most recent acquisitions 

 to the collection ; in any case, it is one of those unfortunate interme- 

 diates which it is almost impossible to place exactly and has the median 

 row on underside of secondaries composed of very small spots which 

 rather contradicts the original description. While the S specimen 

 cannot be considered as a type, we do think that we are justified 

 in calling it typical and until further evidence to the contrary can be 

 produced it will represent our idea of the species. This specimen, 

 which was kindly loaned to us by the Museum authorities, we have 

 compared with the various races in our collection and find it most 

 closely approached to centralis B. & McD. although not exact, this 

 latter race showing more smoky suffusion above anal angle of primaries 

 on underside and having a deeper ground color. Roughly speaking 

 battoides Bdv. with its race orcgoncnsis B. & McD. may be separated 

 from glaucon Edw. with its forms intermedia B. & McD. and centralis 

 B. & McD. by the heavy black basal fringe line on underside ; the geni- 

 talia of all of these forms seem similar and it will be a question for 

 field workers to solve as to whether we are dealing with two species 

 or merely races of a single one ; our series of the forms with narrow 

 fringe line is quite limited but we doubt if this will prove a constant 

 means of separation when more material is available and personally 

 we incline to the view that glaucon and its related forms are merely 

 low altitude races of battoides which is typically a race of the highest
