doubt that the larvfe feed on this plant. The specimens 

 taken here average much larger than those which I after- 

 wards found abundant in January and February above 

 Lolco and near Pulmari, Quillen, and San Martin in 

 Argentina, always at elevations of 4000 to 6000 feet. They 

 vary a great deal, and some do not show as plainly as 

 others the tootlied band on the hind-wing below which is 

 characteristic of the species, though Butler's figure does 

 not show it. I have figured a pair from Lolco.

This is essentially a high Alpine species, which I only 

 took myself on the top of the pass from Lolco to Lonquimay 

 on January 27th at 8000 feet. Here it flew among stones in 

 a very exposed situation among a rich variety of Alpine 

 plants, sheltering itself from the high wind behind stones, 

 and so difficult to approach that in an hour's work I only 

 took one pair. It also occurs in the Cordillera near Santiago 

 at Condes, at 6000 feet according to Calvert, at 7000 to 

 10,000 according to Edmonds. 



This species is curiously similar in appearance to Erehiola 

 hutleri, an Alpine species from New Zealand. 



I saw a butterfly which looked like this on the Argentine 

 side of the Mendoza Pass near Las Cuevas, at about 10,000 

 feet, but failed to catch it.

This is a common forest insect wherever dense growth 

 of bamboos is found, and usually occurs in great numbers, 

 tbough hard to get in really fresh condition. I found it 

 at Bauos de Cauquenes and Bancs de Chilian up to 6000 

 feet in December, in the Pemehue Mountains at the head 

 of the Renaico Valley in January, and all along the 

 Argentine frontier at 3000 to 4000 feet in Februar}-. Both 

 sexes vary a good deal in the ocelli of the under-side, and 

 those taken at Cauquenes may belong to a different form 

 from those taken in Argentina and Pemehue, the males 

 when fresh having a distinct fulvous tinge at the base of 

 the wings above which is not seen in those from Pemehue
