Lepidoptera 27 1 



Aglais antiopa L. 



Papilio antiopa L.: Syst. Nat., 476, 1758. 



This common and widely distributed species has occasionally been recorded 

 from northern localities. Fletcher 1 recorded it from ninety miles above Fort 

 Good Hope (lat. 65 20'), July 19 and from Fort Smith (lat. 60), August 24 

 (Dawson and McEvoy). These specimens are not in the Canadian National 

 collection, but we have three specimens, one each from the following places: 

 Fifty miles below Fortymile creek, August 7, 1887 (It. G. McConnell); Artillery 

 lake, Northwest Territories, May 26, 1900 (J. Tyrrell); Yukon river, at inter- 

 national boundary, August 13, 1912 (D. D. Cairnes). 



Genus Basilarchia Scudd. 

 Basilarchia arthemis rubrofasciata B. and McD. 



Basilarchia arthemis rubrofasciata B. and McD.: Can. Ent., XLVIII. 221, 

 1916. 



Three specimens in the Canadian National collection from the following 

 localities: Gravel river, Northwest Territories, July 16, 1908 (J. Keele); Mac- 

 kenzie river, opposite Gravel river, Northwest Territories, July 18, 1908 (J. 

 Keele). These records extend considerably the northern range of this form, 

 which was described from examples from the provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan, 

 and Manitoba. 



FAMILY LYCAENIDAE. 



Genus Incisalia Scudd. 

 Incisalia irus Godt. 



Polyommatus irus Godt,: Enc. Meth., IX, 674, 1823. 



Two specimens in the Canadian National collection from the following 

 localities in northern British Columbia: Telegraph creek, Stikine river, British 

 Columbia, May 29, 1887 (Dawson and McEvoy); Cassiar trail, 22 miles east 

 of Telegraph creek, British Columbia, June 1, 1887 (Dawson and McEvoy). 



These examples are similar to specimens found in Canada in more southern 

 localities. 



Genus Heodes Dalm. 



Heodes helloides Bdv. 



Polyommatus helloides Bdv.: Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. (2) X, 291, 1852. 



In the Canadian National collection there are three specimens of this species 

 from northern localities, namely: Tepe lake, near head of Wolverine creek, 

 Yukon Territory, August 16 ; 1914, female (D. D. Cairnes); Upper Pelly river, 

 Yukon Territory, August 7, 1887 (Dawson and McEvoy) ; Siwash creek, Yukon 

 Territory, lat. 65 59', long. 141, June 30, 1912, female (D. D. Cairnes). 



Heodes hypophlaeas feildeni McLach. 



Chrysophanus feildeni McLach.: Jour. Linn. Soc., XIV, 111, 1879. 



Two specimens, both males, of what is probably this form. The spots 

 are smaller than in typical hypophlceas and the colour of the primaries is paler,
