posed of larger spots, the third and fourth, sixth and seventli largely 

 fulvous; a submarginal row of white lunules. Fringes as above. 



Hab. — Inland from Corpus Christi. 



Phyciodes Nycteis, Doubl.-Hew. North of the Guadaloupe 

 River. Moderately common. 



Phyciodes Vesta, Edw. Common- 



Eresia Graphica, R. F'eld. Verk. k.-k. Zool.-bot. Ges. Wien, 

 1869, p. 470. 

 var. BouCARDi, God. -Sal. Rhop. Vol. I, p. 194. Rare. 



Godman and Salvin (Biol Cent. Amer. Rhopal. I, p. 195, Aug. 1882) 

 speak as follows of this species: " Our single Guatemalan specimen we 

 took to Vienna some years ago, and comparing it with the type of 

 Graphica found them agree, showing that this name and Vesta are 

 synonymous. Which of the two names was first published cannot now 

 readily be determined; but we use Mr. Edwards' title on account of 

 its having become current in literature of North American butterflies." 



Mr. Felder's description was read April 7, 1869; Mr. Edwards' was 

 published September, 1869. 



Godman and Salvin (p. 1941, under the specific heading Boucardi, 

 point out the likelihood that this supposed species may be but a variety 

 of Vesta, but as their series was a small one they preferred to catalogue 

 them as distinct. The series taken in Texas shows Boiicardi to be a 

 summer form of Vesta. Intergrades between these forms were also 

 taken. 



Phyciodes Phaon, Edw. Common. 



Godman and Salvin do not mention this species as found in Mexico. 

 It is, however, in the collection of E. M. Aaron, from Sonora, Mex., 

 collected by Mr. H. K. Morrison. 



Phyciodes Tharos, Drury. Common. 



' The typical form and var. Morpheus, var. A. and var. C. (after plate 

 in Edws. Butt. N. Am., Vol. II.) were taken. 



Phyciodes Texana, Edw. Common. 



Phyciodes Tulcis, Bates. Ent. Mo. Mag., i, 82, 1865. Nueces 

 Bottoms. Rare. 



Eresia Punctata, Edw. ( 1 87 1 . ) 



The figures of Tulcis by Godman and Salvin (Rhopal. I, 203, pi. 

 22, figs. I and 2) and Bates' description agree in every particular with 

 our specimens from Texas and specimens from Yucatan (from Gaumer, 

 in the collection of E. M. Aaron) which have been determined by Mr. 

 Edwards as his Punctata. It is closely allied to P. Ardys, Hew. 



Synchloe Janais, Drury. Common. 



Synchloe Lacinia, Geyer, in Hiib. Zutr. p. 25, figs. 899, 900. 

 Common.
