Two males at Pagosa Springs. This species is closely allied to Lygdamus Dbldy. , 

 from which, however, it differs in many points, which, when taken collectively, enti 

 tles it to specific distinction. It is one of the early species, and the two above were 

 much worn, and were the only ones noticed.

This insect is not only found in all parts of the United States and Territories and 

 Canada, but also in Mexico, Central and South America, and in Australia and other 

 islands of the Pacific. Its larva, as is well known, feeds on Asclepias.

 Argynnis Edwardsii var. Meadii, STRECKER, Syn. Catalogue, p. 110 (1878). 



Examples were taken and seen in some abundance, July 28 to September 1 , along Wee- 

 miiiuche Creek to Rio Piedra, and between the Upper Rio Piedra and the Rio Nutrias, 

 .and at the upper part of Vallecito Creek at Needle Mountains. 



This is a small variation of Edwardsii Reak, confined probably to Montana and some 

 parts of Colorado. Independent of the small size, the only difference of any note is 

 the somewhat brighter green of under surface of secondaries.
