(‘‘ Butterflies of Eastern Provinces of Canada,” 1894) says that it occurs 
in Nova Scotia, as well as in Cape Breton, Prince Edward Island, and 
New Brunswick. It is common throughout northern Ontario and 
Eastern Quebce. 
Argynnis myrina, Reported as not very common at Truro. Itisa 
very common species about Halifax. 
Argynnis cybele. This species does not seem to have been definitely 
reported from Nova Scotia proper,* but in Rev. C. J. 8. Bethune’s list 
of the butterflies of eastern Canada, (Rept. Ent. Soc. of Ont., 1894) we 
find it mentioned as having been taken in Cape Breton and Prince 
Edward Island. Its occurrence at Truro, if it has not been confounded 
with A. aphrodite, is interesting. A. cybele is very similar to this last- 
mentioned species. A. aphrodite is abundant near Halifax, and has been 
reported by Belt (?), Jones, and Silver, but it is not mentioned in the 
Truro list. This gives rise to a suspicion that some of the Truro speci- 
mens, upon re-examination, may prove to be aphrodite. It is very 
probable, however, that we have both species in Nova Scotia, and the 
attention of our entomologists is drawn to the subject. Specimens in 
Mr. Piers’s own collection, taken in the vicinity of Halifax, are undoubt- 
edly aphrodite. 
Papilio turnus. Common at Halifax, but reported rare by Miss 
Eaton. 
Militea phaeton. As far as known, this species has hitherto been 
reported from but one spot in the Province, namely a meadow not far 
from Bedford Rifle Range, near Halifax. Its appearance in the Truro 
list is of great interest. 
Phyciodes tharos. Very common near Halifax and elsewhere 
throughout the eastern provinces of Canada. 
Phyciodes nycteis. In Canada this species has only been collected in 
Ontario and Quebec, where it is not common. Have the specimens 
mentioned in the previous list, been correctly referred to this species? 
Its occurrence in Nova Scotia is somewhat unexpected. 
Grapta faunus. Rev. C. J.S. Bethune notes its occurrence in Nova 
Scotia (‘‘ Butterflies of EasternProvinces of Canada,” Rept. Ent. Soc. of 
* Consult, however, Mr. Belt’s remarks in Trans. N.S. I. N.S., vol. i, pt. 2, p. 89, 
from the wording of which it is possible that he had found both aphrodite and cybele 
in the province.
