31. ARGYNNIS MYRINA Godt. Moist meadows ; not very 

 common ; June, August and September. 



32. ARGYNNIS MONTINUS nov. sp. Very similar to A. 

 Chariclea Ochs. Above much like A. Myrinavf\i\\ fewer 



black markings at the base of both wings. Below, Pri- 

 maries without any silvery sagittate spots, the markings of 

 the upper surface faintly repeated. Secondaries deep 

 cinnamon-red ; a broad faint submesial band, bordered 

 with interrupted black lines, of whitish ochraceous scales, 

 deepest next the black border and conspicuous only be- 

 tween the costal and subcostal and between the median 

 and submedian nervures, elsewhere obsolete ; there is a 

 submarginal row of faint silvery lozenge-shaped spots, 

 largest towaids the outer angle, between which and the 

 mesial band is an arcuate series of round cinnamon-red 

 spots in a field of mingled ochraceous and cinnamon-red 

 scales, forming a band with serrated border. Expanse of 

 wings 1 3-4 in. The males and females do not differ. 

 This species is found only on the lower half of the barren 

 summits of the White Mountains, N. H. I have taken 

 only a few specimens from July 21st to Aug. 18th around 

 bushes and in the road. It does not seem to be abundant. 



33. ARGYNNIS BELLONA Godt. Damp meadows ; common ; 

 last of May and from last of July through August. 



34. EUPTOIETA CLAUDIA Doubl. A single specimen of this 

 has been taken by Mr. Shurtleff at Leomister, Mass, in the 

 middle of summer. 



.35. MELIT^A (ENONE nov. sp. Above pale fulvous with 

 blackish brown markings. Primaries ; basal half of costal 

 border black, with a broad arcuate transverse band just 

 beyond the cell between the costal border and median 

 nervure, met at its inner border by a smaller triangular 

 patch having its base on the internal border ; the space 

 .thus enclosed at the base of the wing broken up into small 

 .spots by irregularly disposed black lines; a very broad 

 .marginal band, leaving only a comparatively narrow ful- 

 TOUS band in the middle of the upper half of the wing ; an 

 arcuate row of small equidistant pale fulvous spots parallel 

 to the apical half of outer margin ; between the upper 

 branches of the median a submarginal pale fulvous sagit- 

 tate spot, with a dot just below it ; a narrow dusky band
