The .specimens referred to this species are somewhat smaller 

 than the types, and not .so brightly colored. The specimens 

 are, however, somewhat worn. Among them is an aberrant 

 female, which, while agreeing quite clo.sely on the under side 

 with the other specimens, is much brighter upon the upper 

 .side, and has the inner area of the wings less heavily marked 

 with fuscous, and the dark spots and lines quite fine and light.

This small, dark-colored variety has hitherto only been 

 known from Greenland. I obtained a small .series from Mr.

 obtained a number of years ago from Dr. vStaudinger, who 

 received them from Greenland.
