In our former article we mentioned specimens taken by Dr. Mc- 

 Dunnough at Crater Lake, Oregon ; a careful study of a long series 

 convinces us that we are dealing with a good race distinguished in 

 the S sex by the fact that the black border to both wings is much 

 broader, at times occupying almost the outer half of secondaries; in 

 both sexes on the underside of the secondaries the extradiscal curved 

 row of spots is much further removed from the orange band and its 

 bordering black line, the spots themselves being slightly less quadrate 

 and the ground color of the wing of a rather greener hue. For this 

 race we propose the name oregonensis, our types being a long series 

 captured in the last two weeks of July. Our figures of this race, (PI. 

 XVI, Figs. 1-3) when compared with those of typical battoides al- 

 ready mentioned, should facilitate the identification of this form. 



In the lower mountain valleys of Northern and possibly Central 

 California we were greatly surprised to find another form of battoides 

 which is so similar in the maculation of the underside to enoptes that 

 if it were not for the striking difference in genitalia we would be utterly 

 unable to separate the two. The spots on the underside of secondaries 

 are greatly reduced in size and the orange submarginal band is more 

 or less broken into lunules, the terminal dark line is also reduced in 

 width to a fine hair-line ; on the upper side of the $ 's the black border 

 is moderately broad and the fringes of the secondaries white, uncheck- 

 ered ; above the anal angle of secondaries is a slight orange shading in 

 our types and this, when present, should distinguish the form from 

 enoptes; otherwise recourse must be had to the genitalia. The 9 

 shows a rather more extended orange band on upper side of secon- 

 daries than is found in enoptes. We propose the name intermedia for 

 this race, our types (PI. XVI, Figs. 4-6) being 2 S 's and 1 2 from 

 Shasta Co., Calif, (presumably the vicinity of Castella in the Upper 

 Sacramento Valley) captured in the third week in July; we have sev- 

 eral other specimens before us merely labelled 'California'. 



In our article already referred to we expressed doubt that battoides 

 occurred East of the Sierra Nevada Mts. ; we have however, discov- 

 ered that a race exists in the Rocky Mts. very similar to intermedia 

 but with rather broader dark borders on upper side in $ sex and very 

 prominent orange shading at anal angle of secondaries ; the underside 

 is browner in ground color with the spots larger than in intermedia and 

 well ringed with white, the orange band is more continuous and there 

 is a diffuse smoky shade on primaries subterminally above the outer
