Callidryas Eubule. Linn. 



Mr. Morrison had written that he found a species of Cal- 

 hdryas on Mount Graham, at an elevation of more than io,000 

 feet, which seemed to him extraordinary for so tropical a genus 

 as this — as indeed it was. One <5, one ?, are received. The 5 is 

 undistinguishable in size, color and marks from many Etibule of 

 the Southern States ; viz, those with no marks whatever on the 

 under side save the very small discal spots. But the female is 

 white. Now, I find nothing in the books of a white female of 

 Eubule. Mr. Butler, in his monograph of Callidryas, says nothing 

 of such a form. Mr. Morrison writes that he took but four ex- 

 amples of both sexes, by reason of their wild flight. This female 

 is size of the S , color white with a sliglit green tint ; the costa of 

 primaries edged pale black; the hind margins of same wings also 

 edged pale black, but more decidedly than costa, and the inner 

 side of it crenated. Secondaries have a narrow macular blackish 

 border; primaries have a rounded discal spot or patch, blackish, 

 with a buff streak through it on the arc of cell. On the under 

 side there is almost a complete absence of streaks or patches, 

 but still there can be made out enough scales to show that there 

 is a likeness to ? Eubule of the normal type. The arrangement is 

 similar. So are the discal spots of both wings like those of ? 

 Eubule. I have several examples of the nearly allied species C. 

 Senna;, and on the under side, every one of the females has very 

 large discal spots, and distinct streaks and patches of pink-brown 

 scales. So that this Arizona female does not resemble the 

 Sennce under view on the under side. But on the upper side, it 

 more closely resembles Sennce ? than Eubule ? , in the marginal 

 and costal edgings especially. Th^ discal spot of primaries is 

 rather Eubule than Sennce, the spot on this last species being 

 much larger than in Eiibule. 



Argynnis Nausicaa. Edw. 



This fine species — size of Aphrodite, and belonging to same 

 sub-group — was described in Trans. A. E. Soc, Vol. V., 104, 1875, 

 from one $ two ?, taken by Mr. Henshaw, at Rocky Canon, 

 Arizona, 1874. Up to the present time, no other examples have 

 been brought in, so far as I am aware. I have from Mr. Morrison 

 three $ four ?, and have seen one $ one ? , sent to Mr. Neu- 

 moegen from same collection. I have been asked wherein this 

 species differs, from Halcyone, Edw. This latter, in the 6, is 

 figured in Vol. I But. N. A., but the ? was unknown at the 

 time that plate was drawn. Later, Mr. Morrison brought back 

 both sexes from South Colorado. It belongs to another sub- 

 group, standing near Coronis, Behr. A conspicuous difference 

 will be seen in the discal row of silver spots— in Halcyone, Callippe 

 Coronis, Edwardsii, these being large and egg-shaped. They are 

 very noticeable. Liliana, H. Edw., is another of ^this sub-group, 

 with still larger silvered spots. But in Nausicaa, these spots are
