more of a yellowish shade. The specimens were taken as follows: Bernard har- 
bour, Northwest Territories, August 6, 1915 (F. Johansen); Cockburn point, 
(near Bernard harbour), Northwest Territories, September 2, 1914 (F. Johansen). 
In the Canadian National collection at Ottawa is another specimen taken 
in the Yukon Territory, namely, in the Klotassin river area, lat. 62° 31' to 63° 
06', long. 137° 30' to 139° 30', summer of 1916 (D. D. Cairnes). 
On July 25, 1912, Dr. Cairnes, while at Tindir creek, Yukon Territory, 
took a female of hypophlceas which approaches arethusa of Dod. This specimen 
is also in the Ottawa collection.

Fletcher^ recorded this species from Devil's Portage, Liard river (long. 
126° 10'), July 17, 1887 (McConnell.) No specimens were brought back by 
members of the Canadian Arctic Expedition. In the Government collection 
at Ottawa are three specimens from the Yukon Territory, taken on the Wagon 
road, between Dawson and Whitehorse, 1908, by Mr. George Stewart.

In the Canadian National collection there are several specimens from the 
Yukon and other northern localities which we have associated with this species. 
Records of these specimens will be of interest to readers of this report. They 
are from the following locahties: Lansing river, Yukon Territory, June 24, 1905 
(J. Keele); Pelly river, below Hoole river, Yukon Territory, July 5, 1905 (J. 
Keele); Upper Pelly river, Yukon Territory, August 3, 1887 (G. M. Dawson); 
Little Chariton island, Hudson bay, July 14, 1887 (J. M. Macoun); Chariton 
island, Hudson bay, July 7, 1887 (J. M. Macoun)-; Wagon road, 9 miles from 
Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, July 7, 1908 (G. Stewart); west side of lake 
Kluane, near Jacquot's roadhouse, Yukon Territory, August 2, 1914 (D. D. 
Cairnes); Stewart river, Yukon Territory, July 17, 1905 (J. Keele); Dawson, 
Yukon Territory, 1908 (collector unknown).' 
It must be admitted, however, that there is a misunderstanding regarding 
the species to which the name scudderi should be definitely given. The type 
locality is " Lake Winnipeg," but I am informed by Dr. J. McDunnough that 
the actual types cannot be found. Much further study of material from type 
localities is required of the scudderi-melissa-anna group before the standing of 
these species will be stable. 
The specimen from Upper Pelly river, August 3, 1887 (G. M. Dawson), is 
undoubtedly the specimen referred to by Fletcher in the Annual Report of the 
Geological Survey of Canada, 1887, p. 230b, under the name of Lyccena shasta. 
The example from Pelly river below Hoole river, July 5, 1905 (Keele), 
was recorded in the Entomological Record, 1907,'* as Rusticus anna. 
The underside of the male from west side of lake Kluane, Yukon Territory, 
is shown on PI. Ill, fig. 15.
