BULLETIN OF THE BROOKLYN EXT. SOO. 11 



45. Californica, Edw. 



Variety a. Cleopatra, By. Edw. 

 Mr. Henry Edwards agrees with us in our determination of the 

 place and varietal standing of both Cleopatra and Perdita. 



46. Briseis, Edio. 

 Sub-variety Semirelicta, Grt. 

 Variety a. G-rotiana, Bailey. 



Briseis is one of the most variable of all our species. In the east, 

 it is. as a ride, much darker than in the west ; and, unfortunately, 

 Mr. Edwards' type and Mr. Strecker's picture are extreme examples 

 of the eastern form. But, from the dark type to the very light Senii- 

 relicta, intergrades exist. It is probable that one or more of the Pa- 

 cific coast species will yet be determined as belonging to it in its 

 variations. Grotiana is pretty constant in some localities in the west, 

 and seems to be a good variety. It is about midway in the variations 

 of the species, and is a very beautiful insect. 



47. Beaniana, Grt. 



This is almost to a certainty a sub-variety of Briseis. But one 

 example has been found in a thoroughly explored district, and that 

 but slightly differs from Briseis. 



48. Pura, HuU. Bull. B'klyn Ento. Soc., Vol. II, No. 12. 



49. Verrilliana, Grt. 

 Ophelia, By. Edw. 



Variety a. Ophelia, By. Edw. Bull. B'klyn Ento. Soc, Vol. II, No. 12. 

 We are glad to see through the description of a new and well- 

 marked variety the name of the "fair and gentle Ophelia" is not to 

 be lost to the Catocalse. 



50. Ultronia, Hubn. 



A very variable species. 



51. Herodias, Streck. 



52. Coccinata, Grt.
