BY T. D. A. COCKERELL. 



Pyrameis cardui L. 



Vanessa milbertii subsp. siibpallida 

 Ckll. 



Argynnis eurynome Edw. Very 

 abundant. 



Argynnis electa Edw., det. Skin- 



ner. Only one taken ; it is common 

 in the same region at lower altitudes, 

 where eurynome is not found. 



Brenthis Helena Edw, det. Skin- 

 ner. Abundant. Dr. Skinner would 

 not separate Brenthis from Argynnis, 

 but they seem to me sutficiently distinct. 



Erebia epipsodea Butler. 



Coenonympha ochracea Edw. 

 Common ; forms with only one pupilled 

 ocellus on under side of secondaries. 



Chrysophanus helloides Bdv. 

 Common. 



Lycaena rustica Edw. Common ; 

 one is smaller than usual, with the 

 ground-color of under side of second- 

 aries quite dark, thus approaching L. 

 aquilo. 



Colias eurytheme Bdv. 



Colias scudderi Reak. yAx.flavotin- 

 cta n. var ; 9 delicate pale yellow, $ 

 normal. The 9 is figured (fig. 5) on 

 Edwards' plate in Butt. N. A. Several 

 seen ; my wife took a pair. 



Parnassius smintheus Dbl.& Hew. 

 One $ taken by my wife ; expanse 63 

 mm. This is certainly smintheus, con- 

 sidering the locality, but it is unusually 

 dark, and marked almost exactly as P. 

 clodius var. baldur, figured (pi. 39, fig. 

 7) in Holland's Butterfly Book. 



Pamphila comma nevada Scudd. 

 det. Skinner. Common, both sexes 

 taken.
