462 ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS [Dec, '14 



Described from a single pair captured a quarter of a mile 

 apart by sweeping in a jungle pocket, July 28, 191 3 (A. P. 

 Dodd). The species is most probably, like its congener, para- 

 sitic upon ants. 



Habitat. — Nelson (Cairns), Queensland. 



Types. — In the Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the above 

 specimens together on a tag, the two heads on a slide. 



Note: The female of the above species had asymm.etrical 

 antennae, one of these latter bearing but eight joints, the other 

 nine; the missing joint appeared to be the sixth funicle. I 

 have reexamined the antennae of the female type species and 

 both were 9-jointed and alike. 



An Individual Variation of Lorquin^s Admiral, Lime- 

 nitis lorquinii Boisduval (Lepid.). 

 By FoRDYCE Grinnell, Jr., Los Angeles, California. 

 Limenitis lorquinii (Boisduval). 



Individual Variant. 9 . Expands 72 mm. Upper side, forewings : 

 Velvety blackish-brown, with the usual red apex, extending over about 

 the same area, but there is considerable variation in this in specimens 

 from the same locality. There are two white apical spots, next to the 

 red, the upper longer and quadrangular, the lower oval; above the 

 upper spot is a faint indication of the white continuation of the red. 

 The band of white spots across the wings is much the same as in the 

 typical form, but the spots are reduced in size and elongated and 

 sprinkled with black scales. Only a faint indication of the white discal 

 spot. Hind wings: velvety brownish-black, with only faint indications 

 of the last three spots of the white band; and a comparatively large 

 red anal spot clove-shaped. 



Under side, forewings: The apex entirely red with no usual row 

 of white crescents ; a semi-circular area extending from the base to 

 the inner angle and to the cell, blackish-brown; with the usual white 

 and red spots, but much obscured with black scales. 



Hindwings: Entirely red. with the row of median white spots and 

 the two basal white spots very faintly indicated. 



Habitat. — Arroyo Seco Canyon, San Gabriel Mts., near 

 Pasadena, California, 1700 feet altitude, July 23, 19T3 ; col- 

 lected by Rutherford Moore, vice-president of the Lorquin 

 Natural History Club for boys, in whose collection is this in- 

 teresting specimen.
