Figure 5 represents an interesting variation of 

 Melitiea nubigena Behr, — figure 6 representing the 

 typical form of this species Both the specimens are 

 males. In the variation it will be noted that a blurring 

 of the outer submarginal row of yellow spots has 

 occurred on the primaries. There is also a widening 

 of the red band in the limbal area of the secondaries.

Tccniocanipa utahensis Smith, Proc. U. S. N. M. 

 X, 473, 1887. Described from specimens from Utah. 

 In his description Smith says: "S. t. line obsolete, 

 barely traceable by a few pale scales," but in the speci- 

 men in the writer's collection, this line is very well 

 marked, even better that in some specimens of oviduca. 

 The genitalia of this specimen agree with the figure 

 of the genitalia of ntahcnsis which Smith gives. (Proc. 

 U. S. X. M. xii. pi. xxiii. fig. 8) as well as with the 

 original description of these organs.
