EREBIA 11. 



cinereous, the border brown, the exterior part hoary. Antennoe whitish above, 

 ferruginous below, club black above, ferruginous below. (Fig. 3.) 



Another female, from Kotzebue Sound, shows a narrow dull ferruginous band 

 above, corresponding to the extra-discal band beneath ; on the under side the 

 red is nearly lost, a mere tint ; on secondaries the similar band is much nar- 

 rower than in the male, and the marginal border is proportionately broader, dark 

 gray except a black stripe along its anterior edge ; antennae as in the other 

 female. 



Mr. Butler described this species from nine examples, giving" Arctic America " 

 as the locality. lie speaks of the antennae as varying, " black, rarely ferrugi- 

 nous." As I have said above, the antennoe of the single male examined are 

 black, of the two females gray and ferruginous. Mr. Butler sent me two of the 

 Museum examples, by authority of the Trustees, many years ago, and from those 

 the figures on the Plate have been drawn. 



The second female is smaller, and shows some variation from the type. Was 

 taken by Mr. E. W. Nelson, at Kotzebue Sound, 14 July, 1881, caught, as he 

 says, in his hat. As Mr. Nelson reports butterflies to have been numerous in 

 that region, Fasclata is probably a common species there. I have never seen it 

 in otlier collections. The resemblance of the upper side of the male Fasclata to 

 Magdalena is evident.
