have 2 ? before me. They are like the Texan examples, lighter 

 colored than those from Mt. Graham. One has 4 ocelli in each 

 of forewings ; the other has 4 above, 5 below. 



On the other hand, all of Mr. Morrison's are Antonia, var. 

 Montis. Leilia is represented in But. N. A., vol. II, in as perfect 

 a figure as can be made, and as Celtis is on same plate the dis- 

 tinction between the two is patent. But as all collectors are not 

 familiar with that plate, I will say that Leilia $ has a greatly pro- 

 duced anal angle and two rows of clear white spots on forewings; 

 three ocelli in same as in Antonia. On the under side of prim- 

 aries, the inner margin and cell are chestnut-red. The two spots 

 in cell of Celtis and Antonia are represented in Leilia by a band 

 across whole cell, and between this and the band on arc is a pure 

 white space. All this is very different from either of the species 

 named, and is enough to distinguish Leilia at a glance. 



Paphia. — Six examples were received of a species distinct 

 from the one found in the Mississippi Valley, Glycerium, Edw., 

 not Doubleday. (Mr. Scudder, by-the-way, afterwards named 

 this Andria ; but I am satisfied it is Troglodyta, Fab. In this 

 Mr. Butler coincides with me). I sent an example of the Arizona 

 form to Mr. Butler, and he writes me that no such insect is in the 

 Br. Mus. collection, nor has been described to his knowledge. I 

 call it Paphia Morrisonii, and will describe it in a subsequent 

 number of Papilio. 



Thecla L^ta, Edw., But. N. A., vol. I. p. 141, pi. 47. 



I was much surprised at finding Loeta in the collection, and 

 I learn that about 30 examples were taken. Hitherto single 

 individuals of this beautiful species have been found in Pr. 

 Quebec, in Ontario, Maine, Catskills of N. Y. ; at White Sul- 

 phur, W. Va., and at Coalburgh, W. Va. It has remained till 

 now the rarest of our Theclas. In 18 years, I remember to have 

 seen only 3 examples at Coalburgh. But in Arizona, we seem to 

 have found its true home. And it is wonderful, when we come to 

 think of it, that a delicate butterfly, expanding scarcely more 

 than one inch, should have found its way through the whole 

 series of States, even into Canada. It has not changed its color 

 or markings at all, that I can discover, with its wandering. 



Lycaena Pseudargiolus. Bd. 



This is a delicate and small species also, and it is found from 

 the Boreal regions to Mexico, in one phase or other, being poly- 

 morphic. But it is not a stranger like T. Laeta, seen here and 

 there occasionally. It possesses the whole country, and where 

 found is abundant. Mr. Morrison sends examples of both sexes 

 of the form Pseudargiolus, and also of the winter form Violacea, 

 Edw. But these last differ from any I have seen, in having the 

 under side dark gray. I call it var. Cincrea. 



No Lycaenae of Groups i, 2, 3, Edw. Cat. were taken, but 2 

 of Gr. 4, and the remainder, 4 in all, belong to Gr. 5.
