DIURNALS 
ARGYNNIS EURYNOME Edw. 
We have recently had the opportunity of examining the specimens 
of this species and its numerous so-called races or varieties contained 
in the W. H. Edwards Collection in Pittsburg and have made the fol- 
lowing notes thereon: 
EURYNOME Edw. (Tr. Am. Ent. Soc. IV, 66, 1872). 
Described from specimens taken in Colo. by Mr. Mead; in the 
Edwards Coll. are ¢ and @ types labelled “Colo.” The name will ap- 
ply to the silvered form with pale yellow ground color on secondaries 
beneath, with more or less distinct greenish shading at base and slight 
cinnamon brown suffusion over the disk; the ¢’s are paler, with con- 
trasting yellow subterminal spots and blackish terminal border above 
and with stronger suffusion of green below. This form is typical in the 
higher mountain regions of Colorado (Hall Valley, Silverton) and we 
presume it extends into the neighboring states. Edwards’ figures (Butt. 
II, Pl. 23) show rather more green on underside than is usual. Occa- 
sional unsilvered specimens occur in Colo. but these represent mere 
aberrations and should not be coniused with races where the lack of 
silver on the spots is characteristic. MJacaria Edw. listed by Dyar as a 
synonym and described from Havilah, Calif., does not even belong in 
this group. 
ERINNA Edw. (Can. Ent. XV, 33, 1883). 
Described from Spokane Falls, Wash. Specimens so labelled are 
marked “type” in the Edwards Coll. The race is characterized by 
reduction of black on upper side and rather brighter coloration, es- 
pecially in @ ; on underside of secondaries the spots are silvered, all 
trace of green is wanting, and the disk is suffused to a considerable 
extent with cinnamon-brown. We have speciments from Ft. Klamath, 
Oregon, which agree exactly with the types; it is evidently, to judge 
from the localities, a form of the lower mountain regions of the 
Pacific Coast States; arge Strecker is apparently closely related and 
may prove identical.
