small, narrow and elongated, entirely different from the great 

 egg-shaped spots of the other. In color of upper side, Halcyonc 

 in both sexes is yellow-fulvous, Nausicaa deep red. Mr. Doll, in 



1 88 1, took no Argynnis in South Arizona, and the present species 

 is the only one of the genus taken by Mr. Morrison, so that 

 probably it is the most southern of all American Argynnids in 

 its habitat. North-east Arizona, in the White Mountains, con- 

 tains other species, as Nokomis and Nitocris, we know, but Colo- 

 rado is the metropolis of the Argynnids. 



LiMENITIS URSULA, var. Arizonensis. Edw. 



Attention was called to this peculiar form in " Papilio " 2, 22, 



1882, and all the examples of Ursula taken by Mr. Morrison were 

 of this type. 



Apatura Antonia Edw. var. Montis. 



Of this form I received 3^3?. Antonia was described, 1877, 

 Field and Forest III., 103, from Texan examples of the low 

 country. They were yellowish-brown, (5, the ? more decidedly 

 yellow ; under side pale gray, and gray-brown. The Arizona 

 examples (Colorado also) are fulvous above; bluish-gray beneath, 

 but in other points they agree with Antonia. This species has 

 usually three ocelli on fore wings above; beneath three, four, and 

 even five. The upper two ocelli have the black pupils nearly 

 occupied by large white patches. Both Celtis and Alicia have 

 one large black and blind ocellus, in the second median interspace. 

 But Antonia has another, just as large, in the upper median 

 interspace, and both are pupilled, sometimes both with white, 

 sometimes the upper one white the other blue, sometimes both 

 blue. Under side, in var. Montis, bluish-gray over costal and hind 

 margins and apical area, of primaries and the whole of secondaries 

 ^ , except that the lines of the latter are brown and a nebulous 

 brownish band crosses the wing anterior to and partly enveloping 

 the ocelli; no white on this wing; the inner margin of primaries 

 is fawn-color, and so is all the cell except for a gray edging to 

 sub-costal ; the spots in middle of cell are just as in Celtis, a small 

 one lying against sub-costal, a larger one next median below the 

 other, and the two are separated by a space equal to the length 

 of the upper spot. The female has the area of secondaries out- 

 side the ocelli blue-gray with a pink tint, and the rest of the 

 wing, from base to ocelli, is pale fuscous with a wash of gray ; so 

 that there is a striking contrast between the disk and the marginal 

 area in color ; no white whatever on this wing. Mr. Edgar A. 

 Dodge sent me a male of this var. Montis, taken last summer at 

 Boulder, Colorado, and says it was not uncommon in ravines. 

 No doubt this form has been confounded with Celtis of the 

 Eastern States, but the number of ocelli on forewings is a suffi- 

 cient distinguishing character, apart from coloration. 



A. Leilia, Edw., inhabits So. Arizona, and Mr. Doll brought 

 home many specimens in 1881, also a few Antonia, of which I
