 there is the same difference.

Pamphila Python, 



Female. — Expands 1.6 inch. Upper side brown, thickly 

 dusted with yellow-fulvous scales ; primaries have three small 

 sub-apical spots on costa, a sub-rhomboidal spot at end of cell, 

 and three spots in oblique line ; all yellowish, semi-translucent. 

 Secondaries have two small yellow spots near outer angle, per- 

 pendicular to the margin ; fringes of primaries white, with brown 

 at the ends of the nervules, of secondaries white. 



Under side brown ; secondaries covered with gray scales, and 

 primaries on apical area ; the spots of primaries repeated ; secon- 

 daries have two small white patches in sub-costal interspace, one 

 near origin, the other at outer angle, and a bent row of five small 

 white spots on the disk; there is also a small patch at origin of 

 sub-median interspace. From i?. 



Pamphila Nereus. Ediv. ^ . Trans. A. E. Soc. 5, 207, 1876. 



This species was described from a single male received from 

 the Wheeler Expedition, and taken in South Apache, Arizona. 



Mr. Morrison sends me several fine examples. As there is 

 some variation from the description, and the present examples 

 are in perfect condition, while the insects collected by the 

 Wheeler Expedition never were in such condition, I reprint an 

 amended description. 



Male. — Expands about i.i inch. Upper side dark brown 

 with a greenish gloss ; primaries have a transverse band of small 

 white spots, four of them on costal margin, in a line slightly 

 concave outwards ; the others form an oblique line with these 

 to middle of inner margin ; in some examples the band is broken 

 by the absence of the spot opposite cell ; fringes long, cinereous. 



Under side of primaries dark brown on disk to inner margin 

 and base ; the apical area half way down hind margin, and the 

 costal margin thickly dusted with gray-yellow scales ; the spots 

 repeated. Secondaries entirely covered with gray-yellow ; a little 

 beyond the disk an irregular row of small indistinct whitish 

 spots nearly parallel to hind margin, and curving around outer 

 angle and along costal margin ; a spot in cell. 



Female. — Same size. Upper side dark brown, the spots less 

 conspicuous than in the male. Under side as in the male. 



Pholisora Alpheus. Edtv. Trans. A. E. Soc. 5, 186, 1876. 



This species was described from two males taken in New 

 Mexico in 1875, and the presence of fresh examples causes me to 

 amend the description. 



Male. — Expands from f.i to 1.2 inches. Upper side of pri- 

 maries gray-brown, of secondaries black brown ; primaries have 

 a series of black dashes in the interspaces beyond the disk 

 from costa to inner margin, and a second transverse row of in-
