also speaks of % a few whir.' smiles beyond the diseal spot" on upper surl-n T, and "on 

 lihul wind's there is a round white patch beyond the (fiscal jlot, and another between 

 it and the costa." lu the present examples are no traces <>!' anything like these, the 

 secondaries being destitute of all marks and entirely black on both surface^ but 

 these points are not all specific, as I have examples of maia in which the pale band 

 varies from the normal form, and others where it is entirely wanting on the primaries. 

 In some this band covers the greater part of the wing ; in others it is reduced to a mere 

 line, or else wanting entirely! But the shape and the color will easily separate Juno 

 from maia. In Juno the color is dense, heavy, and opaque; in main it is filmy, crape- 

 like, semi-transparent, and main is a much heavier built insect. Throughout. Juno is 

 closely allied to ll<-mili-i-a (Jri<i (Grote & Robinson, in vol. ii, Trans. Am. Kiit. Soc. 

 p. 192, t. '2. f. (50, ISuX), and if I may judge by the figure, which is apparently a tail- 

 one, I would believe that Juno and (irotri are varieties of one species, the main ditter- 

 ences being that the primaries are less elongated in (Irotet, but this might be sexual, 

 as the tignre is of a female, and I have only males of Jtt.no for comparison, and in the, 

 presence of a narrow white band on secondaries; traces of this latter are, however, 

 visible, as I have mentioned in Packard's types, and its size or even presence is not 

 essentially specitic. The pale cross-bands on the abdomen of Grote's figure, I presume, 

 art 1 only the hyaline space formed by the stretching of the sutures between the seg- 

 ments. as the abdomen is enormously elongated.

ne male, July 14, at Eio Blanco, near its headwaters ; one male, July 28, at Wee- 

 inuche Creek, near Rio Piedro ; August 1, one male and one femalej in valley of 

 Upper San Juan River. These are all of the Colorado form, figured in my work on 

 Lepidoptera, t. 15. f. 11, with pale, creamy-tinted upper wings and rich yellow hind 

 wir.gs. These differ from the Utah form', which has the ground-color of all wings 

 white, and from the Arizona form P. XuttaUi, in which the black bands of wings are 

 much less diffuse, and in which the black bands of abdomen are either partly or wholly 

 obsolete. Wherever this species or its varieties occur it is found in great abundance, 

 flying by daylight. The California form P. Eglanterina feeds in the larval state on 

 wild, rose or brier.

Male expands If inches. Head and thorax cinnamon-colored; abdomen of .same 

 color, but paler. 



Upper surface primaries same color as head and thorax, darkest from discal spot 

 inward: markings all more or less indistinct ; transverse anterior line deeper reddish 

 and double: transverse posterior line apparently single, reiiiform, indistinct, its lower 

 part on the median iiervule filled with a gray or lead-colored spot, which is the only 

 mark of any prominence; exterior margin of wing bordered with a dark shade; 

 fringe same Color as the last ; secondaries reddish white with broad smoky border ex- 

 teriorly : fringe pale. 



Under surface primaries shining cinnamon-color, paler than above; secondaries 



line color as above, but devoid of dark border. 



One male at Rio Blanco near its headwaters.
