302 ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS. [December, 



ing an elevation of about 6,000 feet. Wherever it occurs in 

 numbers, P. sniintheus seems to be scarce. 

 smintheus. — Much commoner than clodius at points farther into the 

 range, at elevation of 6,000 to 7,000 feet. 



In addition to the above, one specimen of Vanessa j-albutn 

 was taken in the spring of 1898, but as this specimen was 

 found resting on some wood in a lumber yard, the likelihood 

 is that it had been transported from Oregon along with the 

 timbers, among which it had probably been hibernating. 



Among my specimens are also one or two Argynnids, which 

 maybe distinct from the ones here enumerated, but which will, 

 in all probability, bear the label "Argynnis sp." for sometime 

 to come. 



It is a matter of regret to me that so little opportunity has 

 been found to collect at points back of the western slope of the 

 mountains, so I have prevailed upon Prof. A. J. Snyder to 

 kindly supplement my species with additional ones, most of 

 which were taken about Park City and Brighton. Following 

 is the record of his captures : 



Pamphila mardon. — A few specimens taken near Park City in low 

 swampy ground, which seem to belong to this species. 

 sylvanoides. — The most common species in same locality as the 

 above. Sometimes as many as a dozen at a time seen resting 

 on a single thistle blossom. 

 manitoba. — At Park City, but not common. 



agricola. — Rather common at Salt Lake. Also taken occasionally 



at Ogden and Park City. Along roadsides, resting on foliage 



and flowers. 



Lyccenapheres. — Com. at Salt Lake in 1S93. Taken along the foot-hills. 



scepiolus. — Abundant in low meadow below Park City. 



sagittigera. — Rare. Taken at Park City and Silver Lake. Only 



three specimens in all. 

 annetta. — Common at Deer Meadow near Park City, but not seen 

 elsewhere. 

 Also specimens identified as Lyccena dcedalus and L. icaroides, but 

 identity doubtful. 



Thecla iroides. — Several specimens taken above Fort Douglas, Salt Lake. 

 californica. — Common at Park City. On choke-cherry leaves at 



elevation between 7,000 and 8,000 feet. 

 sheridani. — Common locally at Silver Lake near tops of mountains. 

 affinis and duntetoruni. — Same localities as sheridani. Dumetorum 

 always rare, but affinis common where found.
