Ottawa taken by Capt. Geddes in Aug. 1883 in the Crow's Nest region 

 of the Canadian Rockies; this agrees with the Laggan specimens in 

 the Edwards' Collection and in our opinion represents a form of 

 helloides in which the orange submarginal band on the upper side of 

 secondaries is greatly reduced ; such forms occur occasionally among 

 typical helloides in California and Colorado and develop apparently 

 into a constant race in the northern Rockies ; we have a number of 

 such specimens from Yellowstone Park, Wyo. 



Leptotes striata Edw. 



We have examined the types of this species in Pittsburgh and find 

 they are the same as the type of cassius var. floridcnsis Morr. (Buff. 

 Bull. I, 187) the 9 type of which is in the Edwards' Collection; both 

 names will probably fall to theonus Luc. but one may possibly be re- 

 tained if the Floridan and Texan form proves distinct from the Cuban 

 one. 

 Brephidium isophthalma H. S. 



According to genitalia the species is identical with e.vilis Bdv. 

 and this is borne out by the pattern ; isophthalma should probably be 

 considered as the Floridan and West Indian race of exilis, this latter 

 name having priority ; we found it fairly common in a salt marsh in 

 S. W. Florida in April. 



Hemiargus hanno Stoll. 



In the synonymy of this species as given in Skinner's list there 

 are apparently several species involved. The species, as usually identi- 

 fied, occurs in Florida and is well figured on the underside by Holland 

 (Butt. Book, PI. 32, Fig. 3) ; it may be distinguished by the single 

 large black ocellus sprinkled with metallic scales between veins 2 and 

 3 on underside of secondaries. Stoll's figure of hanno is very crude 

 and the upperside does not agree at all well with our Floridan $ 's, 

 showing no trace of the black border or slight black spot on upper 

 side of secondaries between veins 2 and 3; the underside does how- 

 ever show the single black anal spot and the two small costal dots so 

 that the lack of the dark border might perhaps be attributed to inac- 

 curacies of the artist ; the species is stated by Stoll to occur in Surinam 

 and Cape of Good Hope, so that in all probability, if the localities given 

 are correct, two species were involved. For the present we can see 

 no reason why the name should not be applied according to the pre- 

 vailing custom. Hubner's figure of Rusticus adolescens hanno (Exot.
