Mass., (A. C. Sampson) showing a tendency towards an elimination 

 of the white band of secondaries and a 9 from Bedford, Mass., (L. 

 Swett). Half of these specimens are without red spots on secondaries, 

 others show traces of same and several, notably one of the bred speci- 

 mens from Scranton, Pa., a S from Woodland and 2 $ 's from Ulster 

 Co., N. Y., have well defined spots as in Drury's figure; in the speci- 

 mens without red spots the green lunules have become as a rule much 

 broader and more prominent, in many of the specimens there is also 

 a distinct greenish cast in the basal area of the upper side. 



With regard to the status of alb of as data Newc. we are unable to 

 separate it satisfactorily from our New York and New Jersey speci- 

 mens which in view of the locality should be typical arthemis; we do 

 not however feel that the last word has by any means been said re- 

 garding the relationships of arthemis and astyanax and their various 

 forms and we would emphasize the necessity for Eastern collectors 

 occupying themselves in securing exact data concerning the localities 

 where any or all of these forms occur, and endeavoring by rearing the 

 larvae to ascertain how true to type they breed. 



We figure the underside of the recently described race, rubro- 

 fasdata B. & McD. (PI. IX, Fig. 7). 



B. lorquini Bdv. 



The northern race of this species from Vancouver Is. and sur- 

 rounding territory seems quite separable under the name of burrisoni 

 Mayn. ; it is distinguished by the small amount of orange at the apex 

 of primaries as well as by the almost entire lack of submarginal white 

 lunules on the under side and a general deeper brown color ; specimens 

 similar to burrisoni occur sparingly along with typical lorquini in some 

 of the higher regions of California. 



Libytiiea carinenta Cram. (PI. VIII, Fig. 8). 



Larvata Stkr. seems to be only a ? form of this species in which 

 the three whitish subapical spots of primaries have become more or 

 less coalescent forming an irregular and partially interrupted band 

 across the wing; we have several such specimens, one of which we 

 figure, from Brownsville, Tex., which agree with the types in the 

 Strecker Collection.
