Phyciodes Camillas is common in the mountains near Bouler, 

 Colorado, and among a number of specimens collected we found 

 two very well marked aberrations : — 



Ab. rohweri (fig. 1). The paler markings on the upper 

 side glistening pearly white, slightly creamy. The black and 

 orange-fulvous normal. North Boulder Creek, Boulder County, 

 Colorado, in the Canadian Zone, August, 1907 (S. A. Eohwer). 



Ab. tristis (fig. 2). Upper side clouded with black; pri- 

 maries with a few orange-fulvous marks on basal half, and a 

 large fulvous patch, interrupted by black lines along the veins, 

 on the apical part; secondaries with similar markings. Jim 

 Creek, Boulder County, Colorado, September 7th, 1907 (S. A. 

 Rohwer). 



The varietal name must be considered applicable to any 

 similarly melanic form, whether or not it agrees in minute 

 details. An analogous variety of P. tharos, Drury, has recently 

 been described bv Mrs. W. Reiff as reaghi. (Entom. News, xxiv. 

 p. 305.) 



Three varieties of P. camillus have been previously described 

 as follows : — 



Ab. emissa, Edwards, 1871. Colorado (Mead). A variety 

 with the black colour reduced.
