ctio Edw. (Tr. Am. Ent. Soc. V, 106, 1874). 
Described from ¢’s taken in the Teton Mts., Montana, by the 
Hayden expedition and a @ taken by Dr. Coues of the North Bound- 
ary Line Expedition. The types in the Edwards Coll. are labelled re- 
spectively “B. Am. (Geddes)” and “Head of Sask. Brit. Am. (Brun- 
er)” and are thus undoubtedly spurious; we did not see the true types. 
The specimens so labelled in the Collection are so close to what Ed- 
wards later described as artonis that we were unable to find any satis- 
factory point of distinction; both are characterized by wnsilvered 
spots on underside with a great tendency towards obsolescence of the 
maculation; the ground color of secondaries is pale yellowish with a 
slight tinge of green towards base and a faint washing of cinnamon- 
brown on the disk. Before definitely placing artonis as a synonym it 
will be necessary, if possible, to trace the authentic types. 
ARTONIS Edw. (Tr. Am. Ent. Soc. IX, 1, 1881). 
Described from 1 ¢ from Big Horn, Montana, and 2?’s from 
Wells, Elko Co., Nevada. The types (4 and @? ) in the Edwards Coll. 
are marked Elko, Nevada; the ¢ type from Montana we did not find. 
The type should be restricted to this Montana ¢ in case the two forms 
prove distinct; in this case there is every probability of artonis proving 
a synonym of clio, both types coming from the same general locality. 
We have specimens from Park City, Utah, which agree exactly with 
the Nevada types in lack of silver spots and general obsolescence of 
markings on underside of secondaries. 
opis Edw. (Tr. Am. Ent. Soc. V, 105, 1874). 
Described from specimens taken at Bald Mt. Cariboo, B. C., by 
Mr. Crotch. 2 ¢’s andi 2 from this locality marked ‘type’ are pres- 
ent in the Edwards Collection ; the species is also figured in Butt. II, Pl. 
25. It represents a small unsilvered race with rather heavy black 
markings on upper side and considerable green scaling at base and over 
disk of underside of secondaries, the spots are distinct. It is not 
synonymous with clio, as listed by Dyar, but shows much greater 
affinity to the following subspecies bischoffi Edw. 
piscHorri Edw. (Tr. Am. Ent. Soc. III, 189, (1870). 
Described from 1 ¢ 1 @ taken in Alaska opposite Kodiak by Mr. 
Bischoff and received from Mr. Behrens. In the Edwards Coll. four 
specimens are labelled ‘type’, one pair from Kodiak and a second pair 
from Sitka; these latter must be considered as spurious. The original
