D. Hulst, of Brooklyn, N. Y., to whom I take pleasure in dedicat- 

 ing the species. 



This species differs from Disippus in the pale color of upper 

 surface (resembling Danais Strigosa, Bates), and in the con- 

 trast of color between the basal area of primaries, which is cas- 

 taneous, and the apex, as also all of secondaries, which are pale 

 colored of one shade ; in the brown costal margin, and absence 

 of the black patch and stripe beyond cell, which is a conspicuous 

 feature o^ Disippus; in the presence of fourwhite spots, triangular 

 instead of rounded, of equal size instead of irregular ; in the mac- 

 ular stripe on secondaries and its white edging, and in the ab- 

 sence of black scales to the nervures and branches. It is unlike 

 anything I know. For two years I have kept this example with- 

 out describing, hoping that others might come in, especially in 

 Arizona collections. 



LiMENlTis Arthemis. aberr. C. 



Upper side fulvous, obsured on primaries by much black, on 

 secondaries but little ; on the former, fulvous is most distinct in 

 middle of cell, and below cell to inner margin ; inside the mar- 

 ginal border a row of large dull fulvous spots, lying on the two 

 discoidal and upper median interspaces ; white spots beyond cell 

 2is\n Disippus; a white dash on inner margin corresponding to 

 what would be the white band in ArtJieinis; secondaries have a 

 complete sub-marginal row of bright fulvous spots, and on the 

 black area next over these, a narrow white band, of even width 

 throughout, cut into spots by the black nervules. 



On under side the fulvous is less obscured on primaries, and 

 in cell next base is a large orange patch, and a broad bar across 

 arc; the sub-marginal spots are continued to costa, and are mostly 

 whitish on basal side. Secondaries have the fulvous spots and 

 white band ; the whole disk and area to base pale orange-fulvous 

 with patches of orange disposed as in Arthemis, but of larger size. 



This singular example seems to me to be a hybrid between 

 Disippus and Arthemis. The color is of Diiippus, so are the extra- 

 discal white spots on primaries ; but the sub-marginal spots of both 

 wings are of Arthemis ; the white band {Arthemis) is only found on 

 secondaries and is very narrow, but there is a trace of the 

 band of primaries on inner margin ; the under side is of Disippus, 

 but of primaries it is a mixture ; the orange patches on both wings 

 about bases are of Arthemis, but enlarged. This example was 

 taken in Canada, and sent me for inspection by Mr. H. H. Ly- 

 man. I call this aberr. C, applying A and B. to the aberrations 

 described (A. figured) on Arthemis plate, in Bt. N. A., Vol. 2., 

 Plate I, Limenitis.
